On
April 29
Combs' lawyers
asked for a
gag order on
victims'
lawyers,
citing "Douglas
Wigdor,
counsel for
alleged Victim
1, made press
statements in
response to
certain of Mr.
Combs’ legal
arguments,
telling media
outlets: 'It’s
not surprising
Diddy would
make a
disingenuous
argument to
exclude the
disturbing
video from
being shown to
the jury in
the upcoming
trial.'"
