Sean Combs: The verdict.

news.podcasts@nbcuni.com (Andrea Canning, Chloe Melas) — Thu, 3 Jul 2025 05:12:23 +0000

After more than 13 hours of deliberation over three days, the New York jury found Combs not guilty on a RICO conspiracy charge, not guilty on a sex trafficking charge involving Cassie Ventura, and not guilty on a sex trafficking charge involving his ex-girlfriend "Jane," who testified under a pseudonym. He was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, then denied bond while he waits for his sentencing hearing. That hearing is scheduled for October but could move up. The prosecution is arguing he should be sentenced to around four and a half years, while the defense says the federal guidelines for his offenses put him closer to two years.

After two hours of instructions from Judge Subramanian -- including how to gauge the credibility of witnesses and a reminder to not google anything -- the jury began deliberating. Combs appeared less stressed than he did during closings. After the jury left, the judge closed the courtroom to give him some time with his children.

news.podcasts@nbcuni.com (Andrea Canning, Chloe Melas) — Sat, 28 Jun 2025 02:34:25 +0000

Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo argued that Cassie Ventura was the winner of her relationship with Combs. "She is sitting somewhere in the world with $30 million," he said. "He's in jail." And he tried to make the prosecution of Combs relatable. "They take yellow crime scene tape, figuratively, and they wrap it around his bedroom," he said. "The crime scene is your private sex life." In its rebuttal, the prosecution said the defense "just spent a whole lot of energy trying to blame his victims and the U.S. government for his lies, his threats, and his violence."

"He won't take no for an answer," said prosecutor Christy Slavik. She said it over and over during a summation that lasted more than four hours. She argued that the "common purpose" of Combs and his "inner circle" -- his chief of staff, his bodyguards, and some of his assistants -- was to protect him from bad press and law enforcement. And she recounted the dramatic stories told in the courtroom in the past six weeks: Goodfellas-type scenes of alleged bribery, arson, and kidnapping.

Today, after calling 34 witnesses over six weeks, federal prosecutors rested their case. After that, the defense put on their case. It took them only a half an hour. They called no witnesses. They did argue that the case should be dismissed because the prosecution didn't meet its burden of proof. But the judge reserved his decision on that, and the trial remains on track for the jury to hear summations on Thursday.

On cross, the defense pointed out how many messages the government was ignoring and showed additional messages to contextualize the prosecution's exhibits. Combs was yawning.

Both sides have played voice messages Combs sent this witness, who's testifying under a pseudonym, over the course of their three-year relationship. They're trickling out to the press as exhibits are released days later. The defense says the ones made public on Thursday show "Jane" taking the initiative to set up "hotel nights" without Combs' requesting one. But she testified that the defense was missing the point of the messages. "The undertone of that is -- I hear these things entirely differently," said "Jane."

But "Jane" said Combs didn't make it easy for her to leave him. "He would offer a breakup," she said on the stand. "And then a week later he would be persistent, blow up my phone. Have other people blow up my phone. Be looking for me. Wanting to see me. And he'd be right back in my face."

Sean Combs: Defense begins its cross-examination of "Jane."

news.podcasts@nbcuni.com (Andrea Canning, Chloe Melas) — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 02:08:16 +0000

The second witness using a pseudonym said on the stand that she "currently" loves Combs, even after telling her story of a brutal beating at his hands just one year ago. She then testified that she only participated in what she calls "hotel nights" because she didn't want Combs to feel judged for his sexual desires. And after her sexual performances were complete, she pampered him, including giving him foot rubs and turning on his favorite TV show.

Sean Combs: Listen to Combs’s messages to “Jane.”

news.podcasts@nbcuni.com (Andrea Canning, Chloe Melas, Lisa Rubin) — Tue, 10 Jun 2025 02:22:04 +0000

On Friday the prosecution played three voice notes Combs sent his then-girlfriend -- testifying anonymously -- over the course of their three-year relationship. On Monday, she read out loud the texts she sent him after Cassie Ventura filed suit against him in 2023. "I feel like I'm reading my own sexual trauma," "Jane" wrote. "It makes me sick how three pages, word for word, is exactly my experience and my anguish." Plus, MSNBC legal correspondent Lisa Rubin joins to tell us how she thinks the prosecution's case is looking.

Sean Combs: "Jane" sobs through her testimony.

news.podcasts@nbcuni.com (Andrea Canning, Chloe Melas) — Sat, 7 Jun 2025 02:42:26 +0000

A second anonymous witness testified that Combs pushed her to perform with a succession of commercial sex workers. In one text message she sent to him she wrote, "I don't want to play this role in your life anymore. It's dark, sleazy, and makes me feel disgusted with myself. I feel it's the only reason you have me around and why you pay for the house. I don't want to feel obligated to perform these nights with you in fear of losing the roof over my head." She sent that text in September of 2023 but testified that she participated in "hotel nights" with Combs through the summer of 2024.

Sean Combs: "You joined the #MeToo money grab."

news.podcasts@nbcuni.com (Andrea Canning, Chloe Melas) — Tue, 3 Jun 2025 00:52:34 +0000

The defense continued hammering "Mia," who worked as Sean Combs's assistant and is now testifying, under a pseudonym. She testified that she told no one about her assault allegations until June of 2024 because she was "terrified and brainwashed." Defense attorney Brian Steel entered texts between Combs and "Mia" into evidence, texts where she reached out to him to offer support and love, including one sent just weeks before Cassie Ventura filed her explosive lawsuit.

Sean Combs: The defense cross-examines "Mia."

news.podcasts@nbcuni.com (Andrea Canning, Chloe Melas) — Sat, 31 May 2025 01:30:00 +0000

The prosecution showed texts sent by "Mia" -- a former personal assistant of Combs testifying under a pseudonym -- where she told his chief of staff that she was having "night terrors" about him. But the defense left binders of printed out Instagram posts on the jurors' chairs. In most of them "Mia" praised her boss and showed off a party-heavy, globe-trotting lifestyle. Combs's attorney Brian Steel also pushed back on her claims that Combs sexually assaulted her.

A woman who worked as Combs's personal assistant testified -- under the pseudonym "Mia" -- that he once had her work five days straight with no sleep, threw things at her, including a laptop and an ice bucket, and that he sexually assaulted her. On the stand she said an "irate" Combs once chased her and Cassie Ventura onto a Caribbean beach and that they paddled out into the ocean to get away from him, but the weather turned. "I was trying to weigh if it was scarier to face mother nature or to go back to Puff," she said. "Mia" testified that she never told anyone Combs was allegedly sexually assaulting her. "I was going to die with this," she said. "I didn't want anyone to know ever."

Combs's defense team objected to prosecution questions about fingerprint evidence from Kid Cudi's Hollywood Hills home that was destroyed in the custody of the LAPD. "They were suggesting to this jury that someone in this courtroom had something to do with the improper and suspicious destruction of these fingerprint cards and that's outrageous," said defense attorney Marc Agnifilo. But the judge refused to call a mistrial.

Sean Combs: Capricorn Clark testifies.

news.podcasts@nbcuni.com (Andrea Canning, Chloe Melas) — Wed, 28 May 2025 01:43:09 +0000

Diddy's longtime employee took the stand with her version of a story previously relayed by Cassie Ventura and Kid Cudi. She says she was kidnapped from her home by a gun-toting Combs, who told her they were going to kill Kid Cudi, and she watched as Combs "gained access" to the pop star's house. Plus, she says, years before that she was subjected to five days of lie detector tests conducted by a man who said, "If you fail these tests, they're going to throw you in the East River." But the defense showed Clark proof she asked for Combs's forgiveness -- and another job. Combs's team denies all her allegations and disputes even use of the words "kidnapping" or "break in."
