Diddy's explosive words about Donald Trump revealed as president is urged against giving him a pardon: Live trial updates
A third alleged victim of Sean ' Diddy ' Combs will take the stand on Thursday in a federal court in Manhattan. A woman who will testify under the pseudonym of Jane will tell the jury that the disgraced mogul 'used lies, drugs, threats, and violence' to coerce Jane into so-called freak-offs, according to prosecutors. It comes after Cassie Ventura 's friend Bryana Bongolan told the jury on Wednesday that Diddy once dangled her over a 17-story balcony, leaving her suffering from night terrors and paranoia. Bongolan said the September 2016 attack at Cassie's Los Angeles apartment caused a bruise on her leg and pain to her back and neck. Jurors saw photos of her wearing a neck brace. Her bruise looked like it was the size of a softball. Diddy, 55, has pleaded not guilty. His lawyers concede he could be violent, but he denies using threats or his music industry clout to commit abuse. Diddy said there would be a 'race war' if Trump was elected president Diddy's words about Donald Trump have come back to haunt him after the president said he would consider pardoning him if he is convicted of sex-trafficking and racketeering. 'If Trump gets elected, I really do believe in my heart there will be a race war,' Diddy said in 2020 as he campaigned for Joe Biden. 'That's why this message is not just to black people, you know what I'm saying? This message is to everybody. This man is really trying to turn us against each other and put us in a situation. America messed up.' Diddy added that 'white men like Trump need to be banished.' The comments were resurfaced by 50 Cent, who shared them after he said he would make sure Trump did not pardon Diddy. The disgraced music mogul campaigned for Democrats in 2020 and repeatedly made the comment about an upcoming race war. He wrote in October, 2020: 'The NUMBER ONE priority is to get Trump out of office. HE HAS TO GO. 'We can't allow this man to continue to try and DIVIDE US. The people that have the most responsibility and should be SCARED TO DEATH of this man are white people. WE ARE ON THE VERGE OF A RACE WAR.'

Baltimore scrambles to clean up 2,000-gallon diesel fuel spill in harbor
Crews were working on Thursday morning to contain and clean up a 2,000-gallon (7,570-liter) diesel fuel spill in Baltimore's harbor, according to state and city officials. Initially, the Johns Hopkins hospital reported a contained 200-gallon diesel fuel spill at its East Baltimore facility on Wednesday morning, but a few hours later the fire department responded to a 911 call for a spill at a marina in Harbor East more than a mile away, officials said. The state, city and US Coast Guard began coordinating a response to the spill. In an update at about 7pm, Johns Hopkins reported that 2,000 gallons had spilled, officials said. More than 100 people worked through the night to make sure that the situation was under control and contained, the Maryland governor, Wes Moore, said at a news conference. Baltimore's mayor, Brandon Scott, stressed that there's no evidence to suggest that the spill was affecting drinking water in the area. A boom was deployed on the water and crews later began to skim the heating oil product off the water, the city's fire chief, James Wallace, said. They had begun to flush the storm drain system to push the product to the harbor where there were skimmers to capture it, he said. That effort will continue through most of the day on Thursday. Officials explained that the water appears red due to dye in the fuel. 'Very speedy response, solid coordination, partnership with our state and federal resources have put us into the position right now,' Wallace said. 'That's what's going to drive the remainder of the day and actually the coming days.' Officials expect the containment and cleanup efforts will disrupt traffic well into the day on Thursday, and they encouraged people to avoid the area.
