New Witness Claims to Hold Kim Porter’s Diary in Federal Case Against Diddy

The federal racketeering and sex trafficking case involving music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs has reportedly introduced a new potential witness, adding another layer to the high-profile investigation. A man named Courtney Burgess, who claims to have significant physical evidence, recently testified before a federal grand jury in New York City, accompanied by his attorney, Ariel Mitchell.

Following his testimony on Thursday, Burgess revealed that he had been subpoenaed by the Department of Homeland Security, reportedly asked to present all materials in his possession that could impact the case. Sources indicate that federal prosecutors are particularly interested in files Burgess possesses, which allegedly include videos, electronic storage devices, and, notably, an unedited version of Kim Porter’s diary. Porter, who was Diddy’s former partner, passed away in 2018, and her diary is considered by Burgess to contain information relevant to the case.

Burgess’s testimony comes as part of an ongoing investigation into Combs’ alleged misconduct, which has prompted multiple hearings and legal proceedings. Shortly after testifying, Burgess and Mitchell informed media outlets that they were heading to another session where the court would decide which evidence Burgess must submit to the grand jury.

The case also saw recent developments on Diddy’s bail status. While a bail appeal has been put on hold, a U.S. District Court judge agreed to hear a new request from Diddy’s legal team, citing “changed circumstances.” This decision has temporarily halted the prosecution’s opposition to the bail appeal.

Meanwhile, additional legal challenges for Diddy surfaced this month, as a woman accusing him of sexual assault nearly 20 years ago was ordered by a district judge to reveal her identity if she wishes to proceed with her lawsuit. The woman, previously identified as Jane Doe, has until November 13 to refile the case under her real name, according to court documents.

These unfolding developments highlight the ongoing complexity of the case and the impact of potential new evidence on its outcome.
