Cassie Ventura isn’t on the stand this week, but her testimony still looms over the proceedings. Today, federal prosecutors called witnesses seemingly meant to bolster her account of drug-fueled “freak offs” and years of domestic abuse. In the weeks ahead, prosecutors are expected to link her story to their wider sex trafficking allegations against Diddy.

Today’s key moments: 

Two members of Diddy’s defense team were in the spotlight today. Teny Geragos aggressively cross-examined Gannon, suggesting that federal investigators who conducted the search of Diddy’s property in Miami manipulated what they found for the purpose of taking photos and arranged objects in a way that made them look nefarious.

In the afternoon, Jonathan Bach cross-examined Hughes. Diddy sat back in his chair and appeared to be paying close attention during Bach’s line of questioning, which focused on the fact that Hughes hasn’t personally evaluated the key players in the case. Hughes earlier told the court that she wasn’t legally allowed to interview the defendant or witnesses.
