Diddy's former assistant Brendan Paul takes the stand

Brendan Paul, who worked for Diddy as his personal assistant for two years, gave evidence. He said he worked 80-100 hours a week and he learnt a lot from his former boss, but now his feelings towards Diddy are 'complicated'.

Joseph Cerciello, a special agent for Homeland Security Investigations, started his testimony. He's been reviewing thousands of pages of text messages, as well as phones and financial records.

Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty speaks to NPR's music reporter Isabella Gomez Sarmiento.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs is on trial in New York, facing federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering with conspiracy and transportation for prostitution. He denies all the charges.
