Combs' lawyers cited an appellate decision in Trump's DC election interference case, which asserted that defendants enjoy broad free-speech rights under the First Amendment.
Only a significant and imminent threat to the administration of criminal justice will support restricting Mr. Trump's speech, the DC Circuit wrote, a claim now applied to Combs.
The defense argues that Combs, like Trump, has constitutional grounds to criticize the prosecution and trial process significantly affecting his liberty.
The judge requested explanations on whether Combs' public communications from jail constitute obstruction of justice amid allegations of a PR campaign.
