Federal prosecutors say lawyers for Sean “Diddy” Combs are trying to “hijack” the music mogul’s criminal case from them by asking a judge to force early disclosure of evidence, including his accusers’ identities.

The prosecutors urged a judge in papers filed late on Wednesday to reject the requests, saying the effort to reveal the identities of prospective witnesses, in particular, was “blatantly improper”.
