Sean Combs: The defense’s closing and the prosecution's rebuttal.

6/27/2025
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."

Sean Combs: The prosecution's closing argument.

6/26/2025
"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.

Talking Dateline: Center of the Storm

6/25/2025
Blayne Alexander sits down with Andrea Canning to talk about her latest episode, “Center of the Storm.” The 2024 trial of Karen Read garnered national attention as she fought allegations that in 2022, she drunkenly backed her SUV into her boyfriend, Boston police officer John O’Keefe, and left him to die in the snow. After the jury was unable to reach a verdict, the judge declared a mistrial. This year, Read went back on trial and a new jury did deliver a verdict. Andrea tells Blayne what it was like at the courthouse when the verdict was read. She also discusses her interview with Michael Proctor, the former state trooper who the defense accused of having framed Read as part of a coverup. Plus, Andrea shares two podcast-exclusive clips: the first from her interview with Proctor, and the second from her interview with one of John O’Keefe’s family members after the verdict.

6/24/2025
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.

Sean Combs: Kristina Khorram’s texts.

6/16/2025
The prosecution called a paralegal and an investigator to introduce messages of all kinds between Combs's chief of staff, his other employees, his ex-girlfriends -- and him. The government alleges the messages show proof of a RICO conspiracy that involves the people who worked for him. 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.

Sean Combs: "Jane's" last day and more Combs recordings.

6/12/2025
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."

Sean Combs: "You were welcome to leave, right?"

6/11/2025
Defense attorney Teny Geragos pushed "Jane," who's testifying under a pseudonym, on her repeated choice to stay with Combs despite sexual performances that she says she was coerced to join. 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."
