US EditionDiddy Trial: Judge Rejects Mistrial Bid After Fire Official Testifies About Kid Cudi Car Bombing
- A judge rejected Sean 'Diddy' Combs' mistrial request on Wednesday morning during his sex trafficking trial in New York City.
- The defense sought a mistrial after prosecutors questioned arson investigator Lance Jimenez about destroyed fingerprints linked to the 2012 bombing of Kid Cudi's car.
- Testimony focused on Combs' alleged violent retaliation for Kid Cudi dating Combs' ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in 2011, including claims Combs threatened and orchestrated the car bombing.

- The trial continues as Combs faces multiple federal charges, and his legal team works to exclude Kid Cudi's testimony as speculative and prejudicial to the defense.
