US EditionDiddy Thanks Judge for Doing 'Awesome Job’ as Defense Requests Acquittal
NEW YORK, USA, JUN 23 – Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense plans no witness testimony and may criticize federal focus by referencing the escalating U.S.-Iran military conflict during closing arguments.
- Sean 'Diddy' Combs is facing a federal trial in June 2025 on charges including racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking in the United States.
- The trial follows investigations led by Homeland Security Investigations, which the defense claims manufactured the case amid escalating U.S.-Iran tensions beginning June 13, 2025.
- Prosecutors presented hour-long testimony, including explicit video reviews and text messages showing Combs negotiating with escort services and requesting items to support drug-fueled sex gatherings.
- A key defense strategy may invoke the recent Middle East conflict to argue that HSI should focus on global security rather than Combs's private activities, with closing arguments set for Thursday, June 26.
- The defense plans to rest their case after prosecution testimony, leaving jurors to consider intense evidence alongside broader political critiques related to the ongoing military conflict.
