Attorneys Mark Agnifilo and Tony Geragos asked the court to investigate what they describe as "unlawful leaks of grand jury evidence against Combs"  by the Department of Homeland Security (LA Times). In a letter to the judge prosecutors denied these claims by Combs, stating that "The Government was not in possession of the video before its publication by CNN. Indeed, at the time of CNN's publication, the Government did not possess any video of the March 2016 incident," (ABC News).
