The music mogul’s lawyers filed the motion on Sunday, citing concerns over a grand jury witness, Courtney Burgess, who has been making media appearances and discussing the case.

In recent interviews, Burgess has claimed to possess explicit videos involving Diddy and various celebrity friends. Diddy’s legal team has categorically denied these claims, labeling them as false and defamatory.

They argue that Burgess’s statements are exacerbating the public scrutiny surrounding Diddy, hindering his ability to receive a fair trial.
