Federal agents conducted raids on Sean "Diddy" Combs' Beverly Hills and Miami mansions, seizing multiple items including party supplies, three AR-15 rifles, and narcotics. The raids, which took place in September, have sparked significant legal controversy.

Combs' legal team is challenging the validity of the search warrants, claiming the government made false statements and omitted crucial evidence during the warrant application process. Among the seized items were approximately 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant, which the team argues were mischaracterized.

The defense argues that federal agents deliberately excluded evidence showing that participants in alleged "freak-off" parties were willing attendees. They specifically point to text messages between Combs and alleged victims that reportedly demonstrate consent.

The legal team has filed court documents in New York asserting that the raids violated Combs' Fourth Amendment rights against unlawful searches and seizures. They've also accused the government of strategically leaking information to media outlets to create public prejudice against Combs.

Combs' attorneys are seeking either complete suppression of evidence obtained during the raids or a Franks hearing to examine the warrant acquisition process. The outcome of this legal challenge could significantly impact the case against the music mogul, potentially determining whether the evidence can be used in future proceedings.
