Our subject matter experts and hosts, Haley McNamara (SVP at NCOSE) and Dani Pinter (SVP at the NCOSE Law Center), provide insights and reactions to the recent verdict results from the Diddy trial as well as the memo about the Epstein file that was release by the Department of Justice. Both of these outcomes leave us with a lot of frustration and very few answers. The lack of understanding of sex trafficking in our culture was reflected in the jury's decision in the Diddy trial. Also, the efforts to hide the findings in the Epstein file are on full display as people on all sides of the political spectrum demand answers. Haley and Dani give us a detailed and insightful look into these developments.

Today we're talking about what no one else will: The Trump administration has failed to release the Epstein client list — and that's not just a mistake, it's a betrayal. The powerful pedophiles of this world are being shielded, protected, and enabled while children are trafficked and raped.This is what happens when kings fear exposure more than they fear God.We're connecting the dots: Epstein wasn't just a creep with an island — he was part of a global blackmail machine. And it's time we ask why a man with a Jewish surname, operating with international impunity, ended up so close to the Mossad, Israeli intelligence, and foreign interests. Why is Trump suddenly all-in on Israel and Netanyahu? Is it coincidence… or is this the whole game?If Trump is serious about justice, he needs to act like it. No more hiding behind Kash Patel. No more empty speeches while Pam Bondi sits on a “truckload” of Epstein files. Fire them. Release the list. Stand before God and the people, or be counted among the wicked.The blood of the innocent cries out from the ground. And if our so-called leaders won't deliver justice — then we will.—https://policecoffee.com/collections/coffee

In one of the most high-profile federal trials in recent memory, Sean “Diddy” Combs was acquitted on two counts of sex trafficking after the government failed to meet the heavy burden of proof required under federal law. Prosecutors had attempted to portray Combs as the mastermind of a sprawling criminal enterprise, relying heavily on emotionally charged testimony, salacious details, and a sweeping RICO framework. But the defense dismantled the case piece by piece—pointing out inconsistencies in witness accounts, highlighting the absence of hard evidence, and emphasizing that even if Diddy's behavior was morally questionable, it didn't meet the strict legal definition of sex trafficking. The jury agreed, delivering not-guilty verdicts that underscored the government's overreach and the defense's calculated legal strategy.But while the criminal case is over, Diddy's legal troubles are far from resolved. A wave of civil lawsuits remains active—each alleging abuse, coercion, and assault. In these proceedings, the burden of proof is lower, and the risks are different: discovery, depositions, and the public release of damning information. These cases threaten not just financial damage but reputational annihilation, especially in an industry that thrives on perception.

After more than 13 hours of deliberation over three days, the New York jury found Combs not guilty on a RICO conspiracy charge, not guilty on a sex trafficking charge involving Cassie Ventura, and not guilty on a sex trafficking charge involving his ex-girlfriend "Jane," who testified under a pseudonym. He was convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution, then denied bond while he waits for his sentencing hearing. That hearing is scheduled for October but could move up. The prosecution is arguing he should be sentenced to around four and a half years, while the defense says the federal guidelines for his offenses put him closer to two years.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports the jury in Sean 'Diddy' Combs sex trafficking and racketeering case is expected to start deliberations Monday.

Defense attorney Marc Agnifilo argued that Cassie Ventura was the winner of her relationship with Combs. "She is sitting somewhere in the world with $30 million," he said. "He's in jail." And he tried to make the prosecution of Combs relatable. "They take yellow crime scene tape, figuratively, and they wrap it around his bedroom," he said. "The crime scene is your private sex life." In its rebuttal, the prosecution said the defense "just spent a whole lot of energy trying to blame his victims and the U.S. government for his lies, his threats, and his violence."If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy

"He won't take no for an answer," said prosecutor Christy Slavik. She said it over and over during a summation that lasted more than four hours. She argued that the "common purpose" of Combs and his "inner circle" -- his chief of staff, his bodyguards, and some of his assistants -- was to protect him from bad press and law enforcement. And she recounted the dramatic stories told in the courtroom in the past six weeks: Goodfellas-type scenes of alleged bribery, arson, and kidnapping.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy

Today, after calling 34 witnesses over six weeks, federal prosecutors rested their case. After that, the defense put on their case. It took them only a half an hour. They called no witnesses. They did argue that the case should be dismissed because the prosecution didn't meet its burden of proof. But the judge reserved his decision on that, and the trial remains on track for the jury to hear summations on Thursday.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy

In the last days of the trial, the prosecution played more videos of the sexual encounters at the center of the case. Their summary witness also introduced texts and voice notes in which Combs's staff arranges travel for his girlfriends and Combs himself haggles over the price of escorts. In the morning, the defense announced it won't be calling any witnesses at all.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy 

The prosecution has presented a detailed case against Sean "Diddy" Combs on Count Two of his federal indictment, which accuses him of sex trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion involving his former girlfriend, Casandra “Cassie” Ventura. Testimony from witnesses and evidence of digital communications between Diddy and Cassie have painted a troubling picture of manipulation and control. Prosecutors argue that Diddy used his power and influence to coerce Cassie into engaging in sex acts with other individuals under duress, maintaining control over her through a mix of threats, promises, and financial leverage. The prosecution also highlighted a pattern of emotional abuse and psychological pressure, underscoring the imbalance of power in their relationship and the ongoing exploitation Cassie faced during their time together. Additionally, the government introduced testimony suggesting that Diddy's management of Cassie's career was a tool to further his control over her, with career opportunities and personal favors tied to her compliance.Forensic evidence and witness statements have supported the allegations, with some individuals describing how Diddy would demand services from Cassie and other women under the guise of business or professional obligations. These claims of sex trafficking are bolstered by text messages and other forms of communication where Diddy's coercive tactics were allegedly evident. Despite the gravity of these accusations, the defense has denied the allegations, presenting their own version of events that disputes the characterization of Diddy's actions as coercive or criminal. The jury will now face the critical task of determining whether the prosecution's portrayal of exploitation is convincing enough to overcome the defense's argument, and if Diddy's actions truly amounted to trafficking by force, fraud, or coercion, or if the evidence is insufficient to support such a serious charge.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

The prosecution called one of its last witnesses -- personal assistant Brendan Paul, who testified he was arrested last spring because he covered for Combs when federal agents found something illegal in his bag. Plus an interview with Joe Tacopina, who represented Michael Jackson, Meek Mill, and ASAP Rocky, but turned down Combs's case. He rates both legal teams' performance so far and tells us what his closing argument would be.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy 

The day began with the judge interrogating both legal teams over the source of a leak. It ended with a closed-door discussion about a newly discovered juror issue. In between, the prosecution showed receipts, including some that showed Bad Boy Productions on the hook for an AMEX that paid for "hotel nights." The defense showed more text messages, including some where Cassie Ventura seemed receptive to Combs's requests for the sexual encounters they called Freak Offs.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy 

The prosecution called a paralegal and an investigator to introduce messages of all kinds between Combs's chief of staff, his other employees, his ex-girlfriends -- and him. The government alleges the messages show proof of a RICO conspiracy that involves the people who worked for him. On cross, the defense pointed out how many messages the government was ignoring and showed additional messages to contextualize the prosecution's exhibits. Combs was yawning.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy 

Another former personal assistant of Combs was called by the prosecution. He testified that he set up -- and cleaned up -- "hotel nights," but on cross-examination said that he never saw "Jane" hesitant to participate or appear unhappy afterward. Plus Kanye West pulled up to the federal courthouse in a Maybach. He watched the testimony in an overflow room for about ten minutes.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy 

Both sides have played voice messages Combs sent this witness, who's testifying under a pseudonym, over the course of their three-year relationship. They're trickling out to the press as exhibits are released days later. The defense says the ones made public on Thursday show "Jane" taking the initiative to set up "hotel nights" without Combs' requesting one. But she testified that the defense was missing the point of the messages. "The undertone of that is -- I hear these things entirely differently," said "Jane."If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy 

Defense attorney Teny Geragos pushed "Jane," who's testifying under a pseudonym, on her repeated choice to stay with Combs despite sexual performances that she says she was coerced to join. But "Jane" said Combs didn't make it easy for her to leave him. "He would offer a breakup," she said on the stand. "And then a week later he would be persistent, blow up my phone. Have other people blow up my phone. Be looking for me. Wanting to see me. And he'd be right back in my face."If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy 

The second witness using a pseudonym said on the stand that she "currently" loves Combs, even after telling her story of a brutal beating at his hands just one year ago. She then testified that she only participated in what she calls "hotel nights" because she didn't want Combs to feel judged for his sexual desires. And after her sexual performances were complete, she pampered him, including giving him foot rubs and turning on his favorite TV show.If you want to read NBC's coverage of the trial, check out our newsletter, “Diddy On Trial”: NBCNews.com/Diddy

On the Friday prosecution played three voice notes Combs sent his then-girlfriend -- testifying anonymously -- over the course of their three-year relationship. On Monday, she read out loud the texts she sent him after Cassie Ventura filed suit against him in 2023. "I feel like I'm reading my own sexual trauma," "Jane" wrote. "It makes me sick how three pages, word for word, is exactly my experience and my anguish."
