As the sixth week of Sean Diddy Coombe's trial comes
to an end, Prosecutors did not wrap up their part
of the trial as was originally expected, and will try
to wrap things up on Monday. But today was a
day of shocking evidence photos from inside Comb's mansion in
la giving jurors an up close and personal look behind

(00:23):
the curtain at the dark side of Combe's drug addled lifestyle.
The jury was shown pictures from the FBI raid at
the Los Angeles home in March of twenty twenty four,
revealing a look at Combe's bedroom untold number of baby
oil bottles in lube, some even stored in a fancy
display box as if they were precious valuables. The jury

(00:44):
also got a look at pictures of an arsenal of
weapons and drug stash. The jury already saw picturesrom inside
Comb's Miami pad earlier in the trial. Brendan Paul is
referred to in the media as Combe's babyface drug mule.
But All is a former Syracuse University basketball player who
was arrested while trying to board Comb's private jet in

(01:06):
March twenty twenty four, around the time Diddy's homes were
raided by the FBI as part of the investigation in
this sex trafficking case. Testifying under immunity agreement with prosecutors,
Paul told jurors he had swept Combe's rooms and put
the coke in his bag and forgot to remove it.
Paul said he divided assistant duties with Comb's other personal

(01:27):
assistants and testified that he helped handle Comb's travel logistics
in packing and helped Combs with his fitness workouts, meal plans,
and music related needs. Paul also said that he would
pack marijuana joints in Combe's garage. Paul said he typically
worked between eighty and one hundred hours a week, saying
he would usually work between four to six days a week,

(01:48):
but he was always on call. His starting salary seventy
five thousand a year, but he later got a raised
to one hundred thousand dollars. He was paid by Combe's enterprises.
He testifies that his his mission was to make sure
Sean Diddy Combs was always happy. He said that Combs
told his assistants they should operate like Seal Team six.

(02:09):
More news from the Shawn did he Combs trial up next?
Paul said Combs fired him two or three times, and
he testified about one incident that sticks out in his memory.
In late October or early November twenty twenty three, Paul

(02:29):
testified that he forgot Comb's Lululemon fanny pack when he
wanted to go for a walk. That's when Combs told Paul, quote,
I don't want to see your face. Call KK and
tell her you're fired. Paul recalled it. Comb's former chief
of staff, Christina Korum, told him to lay low. Soon after,
she sent Paul to set up Comb's London hotel room

(02:50):
around Combe's birthday that year. Combs never discussed the incident
with him again. Brendan Paul also said it wasn't a
thing to talk to human resources about any issues. He
said if anyone had an issue, they went to Comb's
or Korum. He saw Combs use drugs including cocaine, ketamine, ecstasy,
and marijuana about once a month, but there were other

(03:11):
times he seemed high. According to his former assistant. The
jury saw a photo that Brandon Paul took early in
his employment of ecstasy of a powder form of ketamine
and molly that was dyed pink for the esthetic. According
to Paul's testimony, Paul said Comb's or another assistant would
tell him to obtain drugs for Combs. He testified that

(03:31):
he would buy marijuana about every two months, paying forty
two hundred dollars for sixteen hoss. He said he purchased
the marijuana from Philip Pines, one of Comb's previous assistants.
Paul said he bought other drugs for Combs fewer than
ten times, and testified that he would sometimes pay three
to five hundred dollars for one to two grams of drugs,
and other times he would pick up packages without paying

(03:52):
for them himself. On some occasions, Paul texted a drug
dealer and they would come to Comb's home to deliver
the drugs. The jury saw messages between Paul, a drug dealer,
and another Comb's assistant, Jonathan Perez, from February twenty twenty four.
Paul testified that Perez put him in touch with the
dealer to obtain drugs for Combs. Is it for you

(04:13):
or Puff? The dealer asked in one of the messages.
Paul responded Puff. According to the message read out loud
in court also added, but please don't disclose that you
can tell whoever it is, it's for me. Paul said
once he received drugs, he would give them directly to
Comb's or put them in the Gucci pouch where drugs
were stored. He also testified that he would pick up

(04:35):
prescription drugs for Combs at pharmacies under Combe's real name
or the alias Frank Black. The jury saw messages that
Combs sent Paul in February of twenty twenty four asking
him to get xan x. Paul testified the Combs didn't
have a prescription for xanax and he wasn't able to
obtain the drugs. Brendon Paul said, Sean did he Combs
former chief of staff Christina Korum didn't really want him

(04:57):
involved in Wild King Knights for some reason, but he
set up and cleaned up a few times while he
worked for Combs. Paul said he only recalled Jane, one
of Combe's accusers, participating in Wild King Knights with Combs
during his tenure with Combs, and testified his understanding of
Wild King Knights to include partying, alcohol, sex, and drugs.
The knights were at hotels during the beginning of his

(05:19):
time with Combs, but testified Combs stopped holding them at
hotels after the Cassie lawsuit. Paul testified that when he
set up for a Wild King Knight, he would ensure
the room had baby oil, alcohol, small toiletrees, and extra
sheets and towels. He said the assistants shared a list
that included all the items needed to set up for
those nights. Paul cleaned up hotel rooms after Combs Wild

(05:42):
King Knights about three or four times, testifying the rooms
were in disarray and he would put towels and sheets
into a pile and throw out empty bottles of baby
oil and liquor. Paul said he wore gloves during the
cleanup for sanitary reasons. One time, Paul said, oh, he
saw white powder that he believed was drug residu. The
jury saw a photo of a hotel room with sheets

(06:04):
covering the furniture. Paul testified that he sent the photo
to combs travel manager to give her a heads up
that there might be some damaged charges. Paul testified that
he often spoke with Jane, one of Combe's accusers, before
a Wild King Knight, and almost every time afterward. He
confirmed that he never saw anything that made him think
she was hesitant or not a willing participant. Be sure
