U.S. government prosecutors returned from the holiday weekend and pressed forward in their racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking case against Diddy today. They called to the witness stand a former employee of the rapper who portrayed him as a ruthless and volatile kingpin bent on controlling the people around him with violence and threats. The highlights:

Assistant U.S. Attorney Mitzi Steiner questions Capricorn Clark, a former employee of Sean Combs, at his trial Tuesday. Jane Rosenberg / ReutersThe view from insideBy Adam Reiss, Chloe Melas and Jing FengClark painted an emotionally wrenching and at times disturbing picture of her tenure as one of Diddy’s employees. In riveting detail, she recounted the sense of danger and fear she felt, portraying her former boss as an erratic and menacing figure who was prone to violence.

She repeatedly broke down in tears, including as she recalled Diddy lunging at her and shoving her at his Miami home nearly 20 years ago. She gestured with her hands to show jurors how he allegedly pushed her. The incident was “crossing my boundary,” Clark said through tears.

She sobbed again during defense lawyer Marc Agnifilo’s cross-examination, acknowledging she worked hard for Diddy because he was “tenacious,” broke glass ceilings and “matched wits” with people. Clark worked for him in two different stints, most recently from 2016 to 2018.

Clark at one point apologized to Judge Arun Subramanian for crying. You don’t have to apologize, he replied.
