The feds are inflexible Diddy will threaten or threaten witnesses or alleged victims if the judge releases him on bail, because they say that is exactly what he did right after the Cassiais beating.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office is responding to Diddy’s last-ditch effort to be released on bond… by filing new documents to remind the judge what the defendant allegedly did in the past to obstruct justice.

In the documents, they focus on the infamous Cassie spanking video from March 2016 at Los Angeles’ InterContinental Hotel, where they say Diddy was performing a Freak Off.
While there’s still no mention of Cassie’s name, federal prosecutors describe everything we saw in the video — Diddy punching the victim, throwing her to the ground, kicking her and trying to “drag her back to the hotel room.”
What prosecutors really want the judge to focus on, though, is what happened when hotel security approached Diddy after seeing the beating on surveillance cameras.
According to the documents, the Bad Boy Records founder attempted to bribe hotel security with “a pile of cash in exchange for his silence.”
Although the security officer refused the money, the feds say Diddy directed his team to obtain the video and “within days” it “disappeared” from the hotel’s computer servers.
As a result, the feds are formally asking appeals court judges to uphold the trial court’s decision to deny Diddy bail and keep him in custody until trial.

As we reported, Diddy and his new team of lawyers filed an appeal the bail hearing decision. Remember, the judge has already denied it twice.
We’ve reached out to Diddy’s reps…so far, no response.
