Misa Hylton shares security video of Diddy raid

Jeffrey Lichtman, the prominent defense lawyer retained by Sean “Diddy” Combs’ son Justin, accused federal investigators of leaking details about the search warrants served on the hip-hop billionaire’s mansions in Miami and Los Angeles and attempting to influence public opinion with a show of force.
In the most recent episode of “Beyond the Legal Limit,” an hour-long show that covered a range of topics from landline telephones to the Israel-Hamas war, Lichtman spent about six minutes on the Combs case.
His client was seen on video of the raid escorted out, forced to walk backward with his hands on his head.
“The government is not always good and not always honest and doesn’t always play by the rules. In fact, it oftentimes does not play by the rules,” he said on the latest episode.
“It’s clearly written in an effort to get as much publicity as possible, not only for the case, but for the lawyer whose name I don’t even remember, literally some maniac,” Lichtman said. “And the feds, the idea that they’re taking that stuff as gospel, which it very well may be they are, is almost hard to believe.”
Jones’ attorney, Tyrone Blackburn, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

“It was also smart for Diddy’s son to get Jeff Lichtman involved,” Gelman said. “It doesn’t matter if he is charged or not. The feds will certainly try and question him.”
Hiring a lawyer, he noted, doesn’t prove guilt or innocence.
Despite the federal investigation, Combs has not been charged with a crime and denied all accusations of wrongdoing.
His attorney called Jones’ lawsuit “pure fiction.”

“Lil Rod (Rodney Jones) is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday,” Combs’ lawyer, Shawn Holley, previously told Fox News Digital. “His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.”
