>NEW YORK (AP) — Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs has tried to reach out to prospective witnesses and influence public opinion from jail in a bid to affect potential jurors for his upcoming sex trafficking trial, prosecutors claimed in a court filing urging a judge to reject his latest bail request. >The government accusations were made in a Manhattan federal court filing late Friday that opposes the music mogul’s latest $50 million bail proposal. A bail hearing is scheduled for next week. >Prosecutors wrote that a review of recorded jail calls made by Combs shows **he has asked family members to reach out to potential victims and witnesses and has urged them to create “narratives” to influence the jury pool.** They say he also has encouraged marketing strategies to sway public opinion. >**“The defendant has shown repeatedly — even while in custody — that he will flagrantly and repeatedly flout rules in order to improperly impact the outcome of his case.** The defendant has shown, in other words, that he cannot be trusted to abide by rules or conditions,” prosecutors wrote in a submission that contained redactions. >Prosecutors wrote that it could be inferred from his behavior that **Combs wants to blackmail victims and witnesses into silence or into providing testimony helpful to his defense.** . .
