Attorney Tony Buzbee is accused by Diddy of “egregious misconduct”

Diddy has disputed, on the grounds of misconduct, Tony Buzbee’s eligibility to represent sexual assault claimants in federal court.

Diddy is once again attacking Tony Buzbee, the lawyer representing many of his sexual assault accusers, claiming that the lawyer shouldn’t be permitted to handle cases in the federal district where many of his lawsuits are filed.

On February 25, the lawyers for the Bad Boy mogul filed a memo in a federal court in New York, opposing a motion made by Buzbee, a Texas lawyer, to be admitted pro hac vice, which would allow him to participate in the case even though he is not licensed to practice in that jurisdiction.

Attorneys Mark Cuccaro, Erica A. Wolff, and Michael Tremonte, who wrote Diddy’s letter, stated that they “have never opposed a pro hac vice application, and we do not do so lightly here.”

However, Buzbee’s “egregious misconduct” compelled them to continue.

Buzbee filed around two dozen civil proceedings against Diddy in the Southern District of New York before being granted license to practice there, which is the main point of contention for the team. They further contend that Buzbee “violated New York’s Rules of Professional Conduct by, among other things, repeatedly insisting that Mr. Combs is guilty of the criminal charges pending against him” during his public remarks against Diddy, including on The Chris Hansen Show.

Last but not least, they contend that Buzbee’s remarks regarding pro hac vice were “deliberately deceptive,” as he claimed to be licensed to practice in New York State, which is accurate, but the matter at hand concerned a federal court in New York, not New York State.”

Recent developments also occurred in Diddy’s criminal case.

The troubled music entrepreneur says the raids on his Miami and Los Angeles residences were unconstitutional in a court filing on Sunday, February 23.

His iCloud account, cell phones, and hotel room were all included in the overbroad warrants used to secure the raids on the two residences, according to the petition.

According to the complaint, the warrant applications “presented a grossly distorted picture of reality” and left out information that might have benefited Diddy.

It is unclear from the heavily redacted motion what evidence was allegedly left out of the warrants, but it does indicate that the applications purposefully left out information that the supervising judge ought to have seen, particularly regarding a witness Diddy’s team alleges was inventing evidence.

According to the petition, “The government obtained its warrants, disclosed information that was detrimental, and then carried out its military-style raids at Combs’s homes.” To support its position, the government concealed exonerating evidence in this case rather than providing the reviewing judge with a fair report.

In order to acquire the warrants, prosecutors are also charged with “systemic deception.”

According to the motion, the warrants were supported by information from a person known only as “Producer-1,” who made accusations against Diddy that were “never credible.”

Additionally, it is said that “Producer-1” will not testify against Diddy in his impending sex trafficking trial.

The document also restates Diddy’s case, according to which “Victim-1,” his ex-girlfriend Cassie, voluntarily participated in all sexual encounters with the record label mogul who is presently behind bars.

Diddy requests that all evidence gathered during the warranted raids on his property be withheld or that the judge schedule a hearing to go over how the authorities got the warrants.
