Courtney Burgess, a former associate of the late Kim Porter, has emerged as a key witness in the federal investigation against Sean "Diddy" Combs. Burgess claims that Porter, Combs' ex-girlfriend, entrusted him with 11 flash drives containing explicit videos allegedly depicting Combs engaging in sexual activities with eight celebrities, including two to three minors. He asserts that these recordings, which he presented to a grand jury in the Southern District of New York, show all participants appearing inebriated and seemingly victimized.These allegations have faced significant skepticism. Critics question the authenticity of the videos and Burgess's motives, suggesting that his claims may be attempts to gain attention or financial benefit. Legal experts have expressed doubts about the admissibility of such evidence, citing potential issues with chain of custody and verification. Combs' legal team has vehemently denied the allegations, labeling them as baseless and defamatory. They argue that Burgess's statements lack credibility and are part of a broader pattern of unfounded accusations against Combs.(commercial at 10:30)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:How One Man's Tale of Sean ‘Diddy' Combs Sex Tapes Landed Him in Court - The New York Times

Dozens of people showed up for jury duty this week at the Southern District of New York's courthouse in Lower Manhattan. There, they would find out if they would serve as one of the handful of people who would determine whether Sean “Diddy” Combs was guilty or not. The federal government is accusing him of racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking and transportation to engage in prostitution. He has pleaded not guilty. Reporter Anne Branigin and audio producer Sabby Robinson reported from New York City to see the dynamics in the courtroom and how the jury pool was narrowed down. On today's episode, Anne describes Combs's demeanor and who the other important players are – and what we can gather about each team's strategy from the jury selection process.Today's show was produced by Sabby Robinson. It was edited by Reena Flores and mixed by Sean Carter.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is facing near-certain conviction in his federal criminal trial, where he's charged with a sweeping racketeering conspiracy that includes arson, kidnapping, drug trafficking, and multiple sex-trafficking offenses. The case is being prosecuted by the Southern District of New York, and the evidence is stacked heavily against him—featuring surveillance footage of a brutal assault and testimony from four women who allege years of sexual abuse and coercion. Given the strength of the case and the fact that over 80 percent of federal prosecutions result in guilty verdicts, the odds are decisively not in Combs' favor.His defense, despite being backed by elite attorneys, has little room to maneuver. The phrase “baby-oil defense” is used to underscore the perceived absurdity of any attempt to explain away the damning evidence—particularly claims that recorded acts of violence were somehow consensual or misunderstood. The courtroom strategy will likely try to blur intent or context, but with such severe allegations and extensive corroboration, that approach is unlikely to resonate with a jury. The prosecution appears well-prepared to dismantle any narrative of innocence Combs tries to offer.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Diddy's Baby-Oil Defense

Federal prosecutors have recently presented new evidence to a grand jury in the Southern District of New York as part of the ongoing investigation into Sean "Diddy" Combs. This evidence includes testimony from Courtney Burgess, a former associate of Combs' late ex-girlfriend, Kim Porter. Burgess claims to possess significant materials, such as video footage and what he asserts is Porter's authentic memoir, which he believes substantiate allegations against Combs. He testified that federal agents from the Department of Homeland Security contacted him, leading to his grand jury appearance and the submission of these materials to prosecutors.In addition to Burgess's testimony, investigators have interviewed approximately ten male escorts regarding Combs' infamous "Freak Off" parties. These individuals, now in their 40s, have reportedly provided detailed accounts of the events, including allegations of being supplied with drugs and coerced into participation. Authorities are examining whether participants, particularly minors, were illegally forced into activities during these gatherings. Recent raids on Combs' residences resulted in the seizure of numerous items, including sexual paraphernalia and videos, as part of the broader investigation into allegations of sex trafficking and related offenses.In our second article...Ty Stiklorius, John Legend's longtime manager, recently shared a harrowing experience from nearly three decades ago at a New Year's Eve party hosted by Sean "Diddy" Combs in St. Barts. In an op-ed for The New York Times, she recounted being led into a bedroom by an unidentified man who then locked the door behind them. Stiklorius managed to escape by convincing the man to let her go, citing concern that her brother was looking for her. At the time, she dismissed the incident as an isolated case of inappropriate behavior at a party. However, after two decades in the music industry, she now views it as indicative of a pervasive culture that fosters sexual misconduct and exploitation.Stiklorius emphasized that such incidents are not anomalies but reflect a broader issue within the music industry, where power is often concentrated in the hands of male gatekeepers who exploit aspiring artists. She called for a cultural shift to dismantle this toxic environment, advocating for accountability and support for survivors. Stiklorius expressed hope that the industry can evolve beyond its current model, which has historically protected predators and their enablers, to create a safer and more equitable space for all artists.(commercial at 10:12)to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Sean ‘Diddy' Combs: Grand jury hearing from witness who claims he has footage of Combs potentially victimizing celebrities | CNNsource:John Legend's manager escaped 'terrifying situation' at Sean 'Diddy' Combs party

The Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) released a report examining the controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) granted to Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida. The report found serious missteps and poor judgment by federal prosecutors, particularly then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who ultimately approved the deal. The OIG concluded that while there was no evidence of criminal misconduct or corruption, prosecutors displayed a stunning lack of urgency, failed to properly notify Epstein's victims as required by the Crime Victims' Rights Act, and sidelined a 53-page federal indictment in favor of a lenient plea deal that shielded Epstein and his unnamed co-conspirators from federal prosecution. The report criticized the secretive nature of the NPA and found that Acosta gave “too much deference” to Epstein's high-powered legal team.The report also exposed the government's unusual willingness to cooperate with Epstein's lawyers, including allowing them to essentially dictate the terms of the deal, such as minimizing public exposure and avoiding victim input. Despite mounting evidence of Epstein's exploitation of dozens of underage girls, the U.S. Attorney's Office prioritized avoiding litigation risks and potential political fallout over pursuing justice. Although the OIG did not recommend criminal charges against any of the involved officials, the findings fueled renewed calls for accountability and transparency in cases involving wealthy, well-connected defendants. The report paints a picture of a justice system that buckled under pressure from power and influence, enabling Epstein's abuse to continue for years.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:dl (justice.gov)

The Department of Justice's Office of the Inspector General (OIG) released a report examining the controversial 2007 non-prosecution agreement (NPA) granted to Jeffrey Epstein by the U.S. Attorney's Office in the Southern District of Florida. The report found serious missteps and poor judgment by federal prosecutors, particularly then-U.S. Attorney Alexander Acosta, who ultimately approved the deal. The OIG concluded that while there was no evidence of criminal misconduct or corruption, prosecutors displayed a stunning lack of urgency, failed to properly notify Epstein's victims as required by the Crime Victims' Rights Act, and sidelined a 53-page federal indictment in favor of a lenient plea deal that shielded Epstein and his unnamed co-conspirators from federal prosecution. The report criticized the secretive nature of the NPA and found that Acosta gave “too much deference” to Epstein's high-powered legal team.The report also exposed the government's unusual willingness to cooperate with Epstein's lawyers, including allowing them to essentially dictate the terms of the deal, such as minimizing public exposure and avoiding victim input. Despite mounting evidence of Epstein's exploitation of dozens of underage girls, the U.S. Attorney's Office prioritized avoiding litigation risks and potential political fallout over pursuing justice. Although the OIG did not recommend criminal charges against any of the involved officials, the findings fueled renewed calls for accountability and transparency in cases involving wealthy, well-connected defendants.
