Diddy Trial Prosecutors Say Cassie Video Is ‘Damning Evidence’ Mogul Is ‘Desperate’ to Hide

Diddy's trial prosecutors say a surveillance video of him assaulting Cassie Ventura can be evidence at trial, blasting his "desperate" bid to hide it.

Prosecutors are firing back at efforts by Sean “Diddy” Combs to bar an infamous 2016 surveillance video from his upcoming sex trafficking trial, calling it a “desperate” attempt to avoid “crushing” evidence. With his trial looming next month, Diddy’s attorneys argued last week that the clip — showing him assaulting his former girlfriend Cassie Ventura in the hallway of a Los Angeles hotel — has been deceptively edited and would “unfairly confuse and mislead the jury.” “The defendant has been overwhelmingly concerned with the existence of the video surveillance since the assault occurred and has taken great measures to ensure it was not released,” prosecutors write.
