Chapter 2: What new charges are the Tate Brothers facing?
The witness saying he would typically have had to sign off on destruction of evidence as the lead investigator, but that he did not do so here. The defense objecting to this line of questioning. The jury then went to break, and that's when the defense motioned for a mistrial. Arguing this line of questioning implies that Sean Combs was able to buy his way out of trouble.
Defense attorney Mark Agnifilo saying, quote, they were suggesting to this jury that someone in this courtroom had something to do with the improper and suspicious destruction of these fingerprints. The judge denying that motion, then instructing the jury to disregard any questions and answers related to the destruction of the fingerprints.
Prosecutors then calling a friend of Ventura's to the stand, Deontay Nash. Nash interned for Bad Boy Entertainment before becoming a stylist to Ventura. Nash testifying to witnessing multiple threats against Ventura from Combs, including telling Ventura he would not release her music and saying he would release sexually explicit videos of Ventura if she upset him, in any way.
Nash testifying that Combs exercised control over Ventura's outfits, approving each look. The witness telling prosecutors Ventura would stay in hotels with Combs on about a weekly basis, Nash saying he would often see Ventura packing a bag with sex toys.
Ventura previously told him she did not want to participate in the so-called freak-offs, graphic sexual encounters, often including male escorts, conducted at Combs' request, but that she did it, quote, because he, Combs, wanted her to.
Nash testifying that Combs got violent with him a few times, including once where he, quote, started choking me out for going out to a club with Cassie, whom he said he had to hide from Combs, quote, too many times to count. Nash describing an incident where Combs attacked Ventura in a fit of rage, going after her so aggressively that
Nash and another assistant jumped on Combs' back to stop the violence. The witness telling prosecutors Combs only stopped after Ventura struck her head on the corner of the bed, drawing blood. Combs then saying to the group, quote, look what y'all made me do. On cross-examination, the defense asking Nash how he could maintain a friendship with someone who had assaulted his friend.
Nash replying, quote, it was just what I was used to. Wednesday on the Megyn Kelly Show, lawyer Alan Dershowitz saying he believes the prosecution will secure a conviction, but that it will likely be overturned on appeal because Combs is not charged with domestic assault and battery. How do you think it's going for the prosecution?
Well, it's going very well at the trial, but it will be reversed on appeal for the same reason the Harvey Weinstein case was reversed. The jury shouldn't be seeing all this material because he's not charged with any of it. If this were a state case in which he was charged with domestic abuse, with kicking his wife or girl.

Chapter 3: Why were Secret Service agents suspended?
The fact that he's leaning back with his legs crossed, that's actually a power move. It's what we call a four-corner stance where sometimes an individual will cross their legs over and that is kind of a power stance, especially when they're leaning back. We see this a lot with people that are so comfortable, but they're also arrogant. I think he wants to appear softer.
kind of in the backdrop, not so big and overt because he's generally like, like he said, he's like the star, right? He's always very big and loud and intense in his movements. Now he's playing the more subdued Diddy.
Constantine also analyzing Combs' behavior inside the courtroom, where he's frequently seen whispering to his attorneys.
It's almost as if he's wanting the jury to see that he is making a comment. So even though he's moving and gesturing towards his attorney as if it's a whisper, we don't know what he's actually saying. But the fact that he's actually carrying out that act is telling the jury there's something in what was just said that caused him to react. So 93% of what we say is nonverbal.
And so I'm sure that the jurors are taking note like, why was he constantly always whispering? Because he's actually very involved in his defense, and he may be telling his, instructing his attorney that what he agrees with, what he doesn't agree with, and what he wants to say, because you have to remember, Diddy is always a controller.
She concludes Combs is attempting to project confidence and control, despite potentially facing life in prison. UK prosecutors officially confirming charges against online influencers Andrew and brother Tristan Tate.
The Crown Prosecution Service authorizing charges of rape, human trafficking, and actual bodily harm against the brothers, which will be prosecuted in the UK once their legal proceedings in Romania are wrapped up. More on that case in a minute. Tristan charged on 11 counts involving one woman, Andrew facing 10 charges involving three women.
Prosecutors say he's also charged with controlling prostitution for gain. That's the UK's version of sex trafficking. Andrew also faces a civil suit in the UK brought by four women accusing him of rape. The allegations span a timeframe between 2012 and 2015. The brothers face a separate case in Romania involving allegations of a ring to lure women into their control for sexual exploitation.
British authorities say Andrew and Tristan will be extradited to the UK in after the conclusion of that case in Romania. Their current whereabouts are unclear, but according to the Associated Press, they were photographed last week at a police station in Romania, where they are required to report regularly while facing charges in that country.
