As part of an interagency contraband sweep at the MDC, agents confiscated 19 pages of notes from Sean Combs’ belongings and turned them over to federal prosecutors.

The notes included inspirational quotes, reminders about family and financial matters, and a "To-Do List." The list instructed a family member to, quote, “find dirt” on two potential victims and, quote, “find everything” on another victim.

Attorney Marc Agnifilo expressed shock and outrage upon learning prosecutors possessed the notes for weeks before notifying the defense. He accused prosecutors of a "complete institutional failure" and claimed Combs' constitutional rights were violated, as the notes contained privileged materials. The defense is now seeking dismissal of the indictment or recusal of the prosecution team.

Prosecutors argued no wrongdoing occurred, stating the notes were reviewed by a "filter team" to ensure they contained no privileged information before prosecutors saw them. Federal agent Mary Slavik maintained her team acted “in a completely appropriate fashion” regarding the documents.

Judge Subramanian called an emergency hearing on the matter. Combs appeared unshackled, a privilege granted for future court appearances. He seemed more at ease, hugged his attorneys, and surveyed the courtroom.

Judge Subramanian ruled the notes inadmissible as evidence and ordered prosecutors to destroy all copies of the documents.
