Another Diddy ex testifies to ‘obligation' in coerced, choreographed sexual encounters
A key witness, 'Jane,' has provided graphic testimony in the federal trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs, alleging coercive sexual encounters. Combs allegedly orchestrated disturbing acts involving multiple women, with testimony also backing claims made by ex-girlfriend Casandra Ventura. The trial has featured intense courtroom moments, including accusations of witness manipulation by Combs and shocking allegations from witnesses about violent and exploitative behaviour. A key witness took the stand in the federal trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs Thursday, giving graphic detail of choreographed sexual encounters with the music mogul that were allegedly coercive, testimony that's core to the prosecution's case. The woman, who is speaking in court under the pseudonym Jane, began delivering testimony that is expected to last for days and which so far mirrors descriptions provided by another marquee witness against Combs, his ex-girlfriend Casandra 'Cassie' Ventura. Combs, 55, faces upwards of life in prison if convicted of racketeering and sex trafficking crimes. Both Jane and Ventura are key witnesses to the latter charges. Jane took the stand after some courtroom drama: the judge threatened to remove Combs after he was 'looking at jurors and nodding vigorously' while a different witness testified. Calling Combs's behaviour 'absolutely unacceptable,' Judge Arun Subramanian said, 'It cannot happen again.'

The court had been hearing testimony from Bryana Bongolan, a friend of Ventura's who had alleged that Combs dangled her from a 17th-story balcony before throwing her against furniture. Combs's gestures to the jury took place as Bongolan was under tense questioning from his defence team, who sought to cast her as an unreliable witness who abused drugs. 'Hotel nights' Jane's testimony was highly anticipated: she began by detailing how she had met Combs through a friend who was dating him at the time. But he came on strongly to Jane, she said, and when her friend got engaged to someone else, she began seeing Combs romantically. Their relationship began in earnest during a whirlwind five-day date at a Miami hotel, she said, describing Combs - as many others during the trial have - as 'larger than life.'

Several heady months followed, including a romantic trip to Turks and Caicos and the Bahamas in February 2021. She said Combs first gave her illicit drugs on that trip. When the vacation ended, he wired her $10 000 because she had been unable to work - at the time, she was creating content for brands on social media - and was a single mother. Jane silently collected herself and held her face in a tissue as she described how her blissful early days with Combs took a sharp turn in May 2021 when he began talking about his fantasies of seeing her with other men. She acquiesced because she wanted to make Combs happy, she said, and to her surprise, he arranged for another man she dubbed Don to meet them at a hotel that very night. AFP Jane thought the experience was a one-time thing, but she said instead, it became 'a door I was unable to shut.' The 'hotel nights' became a regular feature of their relationship, Jane told jurors, even when she said she didn't want it. 'He was just dismissive,' she said, saying that approximately 90 percent of their relationship became a pattern of her having sex with other men under Combs's direction. Full-time job Jane's descriptions of the 'hotel nights' - her provocative attire that Combs requested, red mood lighting, heavy drug use and copious baby oil - closely tracked with the testimony that Ventura gave on the stand of what she called 'freak-offs.' Jane said that the amount of time she spent getting ready for hotel nights with Combs, which he demanded at a moment's notice and sometimes flew her to, meant she did not work. Money from Combs and child support from her previous relationship were essentially her only income, she said. That testimony echoed Ventura's, who had said her freak-offs with Combs came to feel like a full-time job. Combs put Jane up in a home in Los Angeles for $10 000 a month, she said, and when she spoke against hotel nights, he would bring up that point.

Jane told jurors their relationship continued up until Combs's arrest in September 2024. Prosecutors say he ran a criminal enterprise of high-ranking employees and bodyguards who enforced his power with illicit acts, including kidnapping, bribery and arson. Along with Ventura and Jane, witnesses have included former employees of Bad Boy Enterprises, Combs's company. Jane's testimony will continue on Friday. The trial is expected to last at least another month.

Republican lawmakers stand firm against Musk's 'Kill the Bill' assault on Trump's agenda
The Big, Beautiful Bill became the big, throbbing migraine for Congressional Republicans this week. That's thanks to the big, ugly brawl between President Donald Trump and Elon Musk. It started Tuesday with a hangup between Congressional Republicans and Musk over the Big, Beautiful Bill. Musk characterized it as a "disgusting abomination." He then turned on all 215 House Republicans who voted yes on the bill last month. "You know you did wrong," declared Musk. House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., tried to call Musk to foam the political flames. Musk Says Trump Would Have Lost 2024 Election Without Him As 'Big Beautiful Bill' Feud Continues Read On The Fox News App "I called Elon last night. He didn't answer. "But I hope to talk to him today," said Johnson. Surely the world's richest man would have the bandwidth for the Speaker of the House. But the hangup was only starting. Rather than returning the Speaker's call, Musk returned political fire. Not by phone. But on his own communication platform. Elon Musk Warpath Against Trump's 'Big, Beautiful Bill' Rattles House Gop On X, Musk posted an iconic picture of Uma Thurman in a yellow jumpsuit, wielding a sword from a Quentin Tarantino movie poster. "KILL the Bill," read Musk's caption. Reach out and touch someone? How about reach out and call your senator or representative? Musk's influence – and rapid pivot – frightened Congressional Republicans. "To say that it's a problem or that it has created a bigger challenge for us, is true," said House Budget Committee Chairman Jodey Arrington," R-Tex. "He's got a big voice. He's got a big audience. And more importantly, it's a credible voice. But he's wrong on this issue." Still, Republicans weren't budging as Musk demanded lawmakers craft a new piece of legislation. "Elon, look," said an exasperated Johnson. "We don't have time for a brand new bill." Elon Musk Posts 'Kill Bill' Meme In Latest Push To Nix Trump's Big Beautiful Bill The Speaker added that Congressional Republicans "can't go back to the drawing board and we shouldn't." The political contretemps started simmering as Republicans quickly became incensed with Musk. "Give us some productive feedback that we can operate on. I can't operate on platitudes," said Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., of Musk's vague criticism about the size of the legislation and deficit spending. Rep. Warren Davidson, R-Ohio, is one of the two House Republicans who voted no on the Big, Beautiful Bill last month. "Part of the goal with Musk and conservatives like me that have had reservations about the bill is make it better," said Davidson. "The disappointing thing is this bill does grow deficits in this Congress." Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., was the other House GOPer who voted nay. He says Musk learned how Congress operates the hard way. David Marcus: Musk Vs. Maga On Big, Beautiful Bill, But Gop Needs Both "Trust was misplaced. And so I think he has a right to be upset with our leadership," said Massie. But Democrats suddenly made strange bedfellows with Musk. They viewed Musk's opposition as an opportunity to help them sidetrack the legislation. "He's not my cup of tea, to put it mildly. But Republicans are already listening to him," said Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., of Musk. But at least one Democrat called out his colleagues for their inconsistency with Musk. "We've been dumping all over Musk and vandalizing Teslas," said Sen. John Fetterman, D-Penn. "And now suddenly, now we might be more back into him." This all came as the Trump Administration asked Congress to chip away at spending. Budget Director Russ Vought sent lawmakers a $9.4 billion "rescissions" request. This measure asks that lawmakers claw back money it already allocated. "$9.4 billion is a teardrop in the ocean," said Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C. "If we can't get this now, then God help us on getting the true deficit numbers down." The rescissions plan targeted foreign aid and public broadcasting. "You've sent us a rescission package worth $9 billion that goes after Big Bird and Cookie Monster," lamented Rep. Mark Pocan, D-Wisc., at a hearing with Vought. White House Stands By Tax Bill After Musk Calls It A 'Disgusting Abomination' The Congressional Budget Office analysis of the Big, Beautiful Bill found that it adds $2.3 trillion to the deficit over a decade. But Republicans say those figures are wrong. The CBO also issued an analysis – specific to President Trump's tariffs. The CBO projects a $3 trillion decrease in deficits over the next decade because of the tariffs. The CBO cannot evaluate the tariffs under the One Big, Beautiful Bill – because, well, they're not part of the legislation. But, proponents of the One Big Beautiful Bill say that measure, coupled with the tariffs, decreases deficits by $500 billion over the next decade. Some Republicans believe that the CBO estimate about the deficit is what set off Musk. "I think their assumptions are wrong. We have long complained about it," said Johnson. But remember, this is the CONGRESSIONAL Budget Office. And REPUBLICANS run Congress. "Why are you not getting the numbers that you want?" asked yours truly of the Speaker. "They use a different scoring," replied Johnson. "Would you consider a rescission for the CBO in the legislative branch appropriations bill?" I followed up. "I would," answered Johnson. But the CBO is the least of Johnson's worries as the battle between the president and Musk went supernova on Thursday. "What is the message you need to hear from him to make sure you are on the same page?" I asked Johnson of Musk – who still hadn't connected. "I just want to answer any questions Elon has and make sure he fully understands this is not a spending program," said Johnson. "Do you think he just misperceives this?" I inquired. "I do," said Johnson. Senate Republicans who are noes on the bill applauded Musk's staunch opposition to the One Big, Beautiful Bill. "We both seem to be on the same wavelength and that we're very, very skeptical," said Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky. On Thursday afternoon, Musk argued that President Trump would have lost the White House and Democrats would control the House and Senate were it not for the $280 million he poured into the 2024 campaign. "He obviously played a positive role," said Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wisc., another no on the bill. "He helped spend that much money. He attracted a lot of people." But Democrats weren't so sure of Musk's political rainmaking. "It's just crocodile tears that are being shed by Elon Musk," said Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass. Democrats saw the breakup coming between the president and Musk. "It's a divorce that was predictable, if not inevitable," said Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn. Some Senate Republicans claimed they weren't worried about Musk torching the bill – and even President Trump – on X. They believed the president wielded an inherent advantage over Musk in the ultimate "Twitter" cage match. "President Trump has the biggest platform on Earth," said Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio. It's too early to tell if Musk's incineration of the One Big, Beautiful Bill will hamper efforts to pass the legislation – especially with tight vote margins in the House and Senate. "It's not helpful," conceded Mike Johnson. "But I don't think it's changed the trajectory in any way." But Rep. Tim Burchett, R-Tenn., said Republicans stand at an unenviable crossroads. "They have a choice of going against Trump or Musk," said article source: Republican lawmakers stand firm against Musk's 'Kill the Bill' assault on Trump's agenda

Fatal shooting of Jonathan Joss uncovers neighborhood feud, sparks police controversy
The Brief Jonathan Joss, voice actor for John Redcorn on King of the Hill, was fatally shot outside his San Antonio home. A neighbor has been arrested and charged with murder, but police are facing scrutiny for initially dismissing the possibility of a hate crime. Investigators are now probing a long-standing neighborhood feud and a prior house fire involving Joss, to determine if they are connected to his murder. SAN ANTONIO, Texas - The Hollywood actor was shot and killed outside his San Antonio home last weekend. The San Antonio Police Department did make an arrest in the case, but they've also stepped right into a PR scandal. Perhaps best known as the voice behind John Redcorn on the hit TV show King of the Hill, actor Jonathan Joss was fatally gunned down outside his home, at the age of 69 on Sunday. Almost immediately, police arrested a neighbor, 56-year-old Sigfredo Ceja Alvarez, and charged him with murder. Investigators never revealed what linked him to the crime, but court records show Alvarez did bond out and is currently on house arrest. What they're saying San Antonio Police Chief William McManus initially said there was no reason to believe a hate crime had occurred but has since walked that statement back. "Shouldn't have done it. It was way too soon before we had any real information and I will own that and simply say again that we simply shouldn't have that," said McManus. "We understand that many in the LBGTQ Plus community are feeling anxious and concerned. A lot of it has to do with that premature statement that we released, and again, I own that." The victim's husband told officers that Alvarez yelled homophobic slurs at them, before opening fire. Dig deeper Neighbors told police that Alvarez and Joss had a longstanding neighborhood feud over reasons yet to be revealed. "There's also concern about the circumstances surrounding that death and the history in the neighborhood leading up to that," said McManus. On Thursday, alliance members held a community meeting with police leaders to dispel some of the rumors and myths that the case has generated. "We feel it's important to be able to bridge the gap and just get to a truth everybody can understand," said Secretary of PRIDE San Antonio, James Poindexter. According to detectives, Joss's home burned down several months ago. Now the big question is, are the fire and the murder connected? Police are sorting through the extensive logs in their quest for clues. "There are approximately 70 calls over the past two years involving various neighborhood type disturbances. Sometimes he was the caller. Other times, the neighbors were calling on him," said McManus. "Our homicide detectives are continuing to pursue every lead in this case to ensure that we understand the full picture of what led up to the senseless murder of Mr. Joss." What's next When asked by a reporter at today's news conference whether Joss was targeted because of his sexual orientation, Chief McManus said they're still "looking into that." The Source Information in the article is provided by the San Antonio Police Department.
