Diddy We're Challenging Search Warrants ... Feds Offered 'Distorted Picture of Facts'

Published | Updated

Diddy's legal team is attacking the search warrants federal agents obtained to raid his homes and examine his internet history -- claiming feds "made false statements" in their applications for the warrants.

The super producer's lawyers filed the documents Sunday ... asking a judge to suppress all of the evidence obtained in the searches because the government "presented a grossly distorted picture of the facts" when obtaining the warrants.

Diddy's team says the feds had a variety of evidence that would prove at least one alleged victim willingly participated in the so-called "freak-offs." In court documents, the feds define a "Freak Off" as days-long sexual activity between Diddy, a woman and a male commercial sex workers, some of whom were transported over state lines.
