Court slams federal against with gag order
Courtโs slap to the feds came after the recent documents and photos shared by The Post revealed a trove of evidence about Diddyโs freak-offs. The news outlet quoted one of the federal law enforcement who described these freak-offs as โsick sh**โ as their sources which led to the court issuing a gag order in response.
Late Friday, Manhattan federal judge Arun Subramanian issued the gag order for all the federal prosecutors and other officials involved in the case. The order warned the receivers to refrain from sharing any information from the grand jury decisions to any other non-public information about the case which could interfere with a fair trial. It also asked the receivers to follow the existing laws regarding the same, as reported by New York Post.
Subramanian wrote, โThose remarks if made by an agent involved in the investigation or prosecution of this case, are plainly improper.โ The judge added, โTo be clear, this order isnโt based on a finding that there has been any wrongdoing thus far, as the court has made no findings at this juncture relating to [Diddyโs] allegations that information related to the case has been leaked.โ
He emphasised, โThe point of this order is to help ensure that nothing happens from now on that would interfere with a fair trial. The Court will take appropriate action for any violation of the rules.โ
