Diddy’s team ‘pissed’ about flash drive video claims: Lawyer

Updated: 08-11-2024, 09.22 AM

(NewsNation) —  Courtney Burgess, a Sean “Diddy” Combs investigation court witness, exclusively told NewsNation’s “Banfield” that he was given 11 flash drives containing at least eight sex tapes involving eight celebrities.

Ariel Mitchell, his lawyer, says Diddy’s team “is pissed, to say the least.”

Additionally, Burgess has been asked to return to the grand jury in the Southern District of New York to testify a second time. Last month, Combs’ defense attorneys asked for a gag order to stop accusers’ lawyers from commenting publicly and have claimed government leaks to the media have threatened the rapper’s chance at a fair trial.

Mitchell said her client believes that the purpose of the gag order request was to silence Burgess.

“We truly believe that Combs is aware that the things that Courtney has talked about and the things on the flash drive were definitely real events,” Mitchell said on “Banfield.” “That’s the last thing that Combs would like out about him.”
