On December 16, in the run-up to the December 18 conference, letter on Patreon here.
On January 14 Combs' lawyers filed a motion about the protective order, arguing that "attorney eyes only" videos in the case they say prove the prosecution is "sexist and puritanical" and that it is consensual - 7 page letter on Patreon here
On January 28 the US opposed Combs' motion, 8-page letter on Patreon here.
On January 29 Judge Subramanian denied Combs' motion: "Defendant’s motion to amend the protective order is DENIED without prejudice. While the Government objects to handing the videos over, they provide several options for defendant to consider that would permit the defense to view the videos, access the information they are looking for, and even allow them to manipulate the videos as they see fit. To the extent these options are insufficient-" Order on Patreon here.
