Jury deliberation begins next week.

After six weeks of harrowing testimony, federal prosecutors took the floor Thursday with a sweeping, four-hour closing argument aimed at proving Sean “Diddy” Combs led a violent, manipulative criminal enterprise.

From luxury flights for escorts to $100,000 hush-money exchanges, the Day 25 testimony in the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial was explosive.

From luxury hotels to Gucci pouches full of drugs, Days 22 and 23 of the Diddy trial spiraled into something darker.

On Day 16 of Diddy’s federal trial, Bryana Bongolan—Cassie Ventura’s former friend—testified that she was held over a 17-story balcony by Combs in 2016. Her chilling account also included threats, drug use, and years of trauma that she says she’s still working to heal from.

Day 15 of the Sean “Diddy” Combs trial delivered emotional testimony, a surprise subpoena, and a dramatic courtroom disruption.
