Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ Defense calls case “a false trial”
Meanwhile, inside the Manhattan courtroom on Friday morning, Diddy’s defense team presented their closing arguments. They argued that the federal case against the musician was based on falsehoods and consensual relationships. Reportedly, they described Combs’ lifestyle as part of a ‘swingers’ culture rather than a criminal enterprise.
The counsel insisted there was no evidence of non-consensual sex trafficking or organized racketeering, the Variety report stated. They reiterated that the case was a character assassination based on hearsay and distorted narratives.
