Diddy's Defense Presents Hotel Records, Contradicting Assault Accusation

Sean "Diddy" Combs's trial takes a turn as the defense presents hotel records placing him in New York City during the time of an alleged incident in Los Angeles. The records, presented on Day 17 of the trial, directly contradict the testimony of Brianna Bongalang, a former creative director who accused Combs of assault. "Hotel records show that Mr. Combs stayed at Trump International in New York City from September 24th to 29th, 2016," reported Joshua Rhett Miller, a senior news reporter covering the trial. This revelation significantly impacts Bongalang's account, potentially undermining a key element of her claim. The defense attorney, Nicole West Moreland, further emphasized the inconsistencies in Bongalang's statements, highlighting the absence of mention of the balcony incident in subsequent communications. The judge also issued a gag order, prohibiting the public and press from identifying another accuser, Jane Doe, to protect her privacy. The case continues to unfold, with further testimony expected.
