Combs engaged with his defense today
The defendant appeared to be particularly engaged with his attorneys today.
Combs seemed to be paying very close to attention to the testimony of a federal agent describing the raid on his home in Los Angeles. Combs even handed his attorney a note while the lawyer was cross-examining the agent.
Combs could be fighting some congestion, perhaps an allergy, today as he gabbed tissues and forcefully blew his nose at one point in the morning.

The employee said he immediately brought the issue to Combs and his chief of staff Kristina Khorram.
Judge Subramanian declared a recess and asked jurors to return to court before 1:30 p.m. ET.

+2
, and
Combs’ staff would typically get between two and 24 hours to prepare for a “king night,” an evening their boss would spend in a hotel with a woman, the witness said.
Food, a change of clothes, condoms, lubricants and red lights were among the items commonly packed, Perez said.

+2
, and
Ye walked out of the front doors of the federal courthouse, got into a car and was driven away.

The many names of Combs
+2
, and
Perez worked for Combs between December 2021 and this past September, addressing his boss by several names.

The 35-year-old native of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, wore a brown suit, black shirt and black tie.
Ye has kept quiet lately
and
Grammy Award-winning rapper Ye has been keeping a relatively low profile in recent weeks before making his surprise appearance at the courthouse today to show his support for Combs.
Oils were a surprising find for agent
+2
, and
The agent said he’d never found large amounts of baby oil in his previous human trafficking investigations.
Asked if he’d ever walked out of a trafficking raid with boxes of baby oil, LeMon told Combs’ defense: “It’s only been this one.”
“That’s what I thought,” Combs defense lawyer Agnifilo said, perhaps insinuating that the presence of lubricants signals consensual sex acts.
Ye arrives at the courthouse
+2
, and
Ye came to the courthouse in Lower Manhattan.
Bystanders shouted, “Thanks for the support, Kanye,” as the rapper, formerly known as Kanye West, entered the building.
Ye confirmed to a reporter he was there to support Combs.
Prosecutor complains to judge about Combs ‘nodding emphatically’
+2
, and
Maurene Comey, one of the prosecutors, complained to Judge Arun Subramanian that Combs was “nodding emphatically” as his ex-girlfriend “Jane” and the Homeland Security agent testified. Brian Steel, one of Combs’ lawyers, pushed back on that characterization, saying his client has been “nothing but professional.”
Subramanian, who scolded Combs’ team last week after the rapper apparently made facial expressions at jurors, told Comey it would be “impossible to police” everyone in the courtroom but made clear “we will keep an eye out” for any inappropriate behavior.
Large number of guns found at Combs’ L.A. home, witness testifies
+2
, and
Combs kept an arsenal of firearms and ammunition — designed to pierce armor — according to the federal agent who led the raid on his L.A. home.
Long guns, AR-15-style weapons, Smith & Wesson rifles, a Ruger rifle and a Glock pistol were among the firearms discovered at Combs’ Mapleton Drive home, LeMon testified.
Agents also found 59 rounds of green tip ammunition, which is manufactured to penetrate body armor, the witness said.
Hundreds of bottles of lubricants found at Combs’ L.A. home, witness testifies
+2
, and
Federal agents found 900 bottles of Astroglide and 200 bottles of baby oil when they raided the defendant’s home in Los Angeles last year, LeMon said.
The lubricants were frequently used during “hotel nights” and “freak offs,” when Combs directed women to have sex with other men as he watched, witnesses have testified at this trial.
In a nightstand, agents also found six envelopes marked with “K” on them all, LeMon said. Those envelopes tested positive for ketamine, attorneys stipulated.
Government calls its first witness of the day
+2
, and
The government called Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Andre LeMon to the witness stand, presumably to discuss details of Combs’ arrest last year.
Combs wore light-colored pants and a brown long-sleeve sweater to court this morning.
Defense wants to limit or bar testimony about guns
+2
, and
The defense told the court that it’ll likely object to questions about guns found during raids during Combs’ arrest.
Combs attorney Marc Agnifilo called firearms a “divisive issue” that he’d rather not have on the minds of jurors.
“I am not seeing how guns in a security room are relevant to any of the charges in this case,” Agnifilo said.
Judge wants to settle juror issue
+2
, and
U.S. District Judge Arun Subramanian said he wants to settle the government’s objections to one of the jurors, though there doesn’t appear to be enough evidence yet to remove the panelist.
Subramanian revealed the issue could be about where the juror lives.
The government, earlier this week, said that panelist should be removed over “lack of candor.”
“My preference would be to hear from the juror and it is likely we will hear a perfect innocent explanation,” Subramanian said, adding that he wants to “quickly resolve this issue” and “put it to bed.”
Court is in session
and
Court is now in session for Day 23 of Combs’ trial.
Combs is in court today wearing light pants and a brown long-sleeved sweater.
Here’s what ‘Jane’ said yesterday
, and
Yesterday, “Jane” testified that she felt jealous of other women in Combs’ life. She thought it was unfair that they appeared to get more from their relationships with him than she did, despite her folding to the pressure of “hotel nights.”
Jane reiterated how much Combs pushed her for “hotel nights” even after telling him she didn’t want to do it.
“All the time,” Jane said.
The constant need to have sex for Combs’ entertainment made Jane “sore, tired, exhausted and overwhelmed,” she testified.
While she witnessed positive changes in Combs after Cassie’s lawsuit in November 2023, Jane said she and Combs physically fought at her residence in Los Angeles in 2024.
In that incident, she said she pushed Combs’ head into a marble countertop when she was angry that he went on a family trip to Turks and Caicos with another woman. She claimed Combs later assaulted her in the hallway.
Who is expected to testify today
Special Agent Andre LeMon, Jonathan Perez and Ananya Sankar are expected to be called to the witness stand next.
‘Jane’ was composed on the last day of her marathon time on the stand
+3
, , and
“Jane” came across as firm and composed on her sixth day of testimony, only fighting back tears near the end of the day.
Combs, clad in what appeared to be the same orange sweater and khaki pants he wore the day before, hugged members of his defense team when he walked into the courtroom yesterday morning. During an afternoon break, Combs grabbed tissues and dabbed an eye before leaving the room.
Combs’ former girlfriend finally off the stand after 6 days of testimony
and
Combs’ former girlfriend, identified in court by the pseudonym “Jane,” finished her sixth and final day of testimony yesterday.
During her time on the stand yesterday, she faced a series of questions about her relationship with Combs, including how it played out after he became the subject of a headline-grabbing criminal investigation in 2024.
Jane told jurors she saw positive changes in Combs after Cassie Ventura, his former partner, filed her November 2023 civil lawsuit alleging physical and sexual abuse. Responding to questions from defense lawyer Teny Geragos, Jane agreed that Combs became more apologetic and attentive, less egotistical and cold.
