Overview

• Defense attorneys signaled they will rest without calling a single witness after cross-examining over 30 government witnesses, including Combs’s former assistant Brendan Paul.
• Prosecution is concluding its case with testimony from Homeland Security Agent Joseph Cerciello on flight logs, phone records and dozens of explicit videos depicting multi-day drug-fueled “freak-offs.”
• Jurors have viewed roughly 20 minutes of footage from encounters involving Cassie Ventura and a witness known as “Jane,” alongside text messages showing Combs arranging hotels, flights and drugs for the events.
• Combs has pleaded not guilty to sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and transportation for prostitution, arguing that all participants joined the activities voluntarily without coercion.
• If convicted on all counts, the 55-year-old faces a mandatory minimum of 15 years and up to life in prison, with jury deliberations set to follow closing arguments on June 26.
