Diddy accused of contacting witnesses from prison

Sean "Diddy" Combs faces allegations of violating prison rules by contacting potential witnesses in his upcoming sex trafficking trial.

Prosecutors claim he used unauthorized phone accounts and instructed relatives to influence testimony, supported by recorded calls and a seized notebook.

Detained since September 16, Combs denies all charges and wrongdoing.

His legal team argues that seized materials violate attorney-client privilege, but prosecutors suggest they indicate obstruction of justice.

Combs, repeatedly denied bail over tampering concerns, has proposed a $50 million package with house arrest, citing poor jail conditions hindering trial preparation.

Prosecutors oppose the proposal, calling him a "serious risk."

A judge will decide on the evidence and bail request soon.
