Diddy's $100,000 Bribe: Security Footage Shakes Sex Trafficking Trial

Diddy's $100,000 Silence Deal: Security Guard's Testimony Reveals Key Evidence in Sex Trafficking Trial. Los Angeles, CA – The ongoing trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs took a dramatic turn Tuesday with the testimony of Eddie Garcia, a former security guard at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles. Garcia testified that Combs paid him $100,000 to conceal a 2016 security video showing Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. This video, shown to the jury, is now a critical piece of evidence in the racketeering and sex-trafficking case against Combs. "He said, 'Get rid of this video, and we'll pay you money,'" Garcia recalled. The prosecution argues the payment was a bribe, directly linking Combs to the alleged crimes. The trial continues, with the potential for a life sentence for Combs.
