Sean ‘Diddy‘ Combs absurdly compared himself to soon-to-be president Donald Trump in a desperate attempt to be bailed out of jail before Thanksgiving.
The disgraced rapper’s lawyers cited Trump in a Monday court filing, pointing out the similarities between their respective legal situations.
Lawyers quoted an appellate decision from Trump’s election interference case regarding the First Amendment.
‘Only a significant and imminent threat to the administration of criminal justice will support restricting Mr. Trump’s speech,’ the DC Circuit Court of Appeals wrote in December, as recited in Combs’ filing.
Lawyers claimed that Combs has ‘a greater constitutional claim than other trial participants…to speak out against the prosecution and the criminal trial process that seek to take away his liberty.’
‘Accordingly, the Court should apply Trump’s heightened standard when considering Mr. Combs’ speech here,’ the filing asserted.
This legal briefing was in response to prosecutors accusing the alleged s£x-trafficker of trying to influence potential jurors through a ‘public relations campaign’ on his children‘s social media pages.
The allegation stemmed from seven of his children to posting a video marking his birthday on November 4.
