Sean Diddy Combs dodges his most serious charges.

Trump scores a big payout in his suit against Paramount, and a Pennsylvania mortgage lender

comes under fire for marketing to illegal immigrants.

I'm Georgia Howe with Daily Wire executive editor John Bickley.

It's Wednesday, July 2nd, and this is Evening Wire.

John Diddy Combs escaped the most serious charges. The music mogul was found not guilty of the

RICO racketeering charge and the two sex trafficking charges, but he was found guilty of two lesser

charges of transporting women for prostitution, one for his former

girlfriend Cassie Ventura, and one for another victim simply referred to as Jane. Each charge

could result in a 10-year jail sentence. The defense has asked for Combs release, but the prosecution

says it wants jail time. After the verdict was read, Combs got on his knees, then stood up,

faced the gallery, and clapped. The audience erupted in applause. Cassie Ventura's attorney

praised her in a statement saying, quote, by coming forward with her experience, Cassie has left

an indelible mark on both the entertainment industry and the fight for justice. Here's Ventura's attorney reacting to the verdict.

We're pleased that Cassie's brought to light.

Everything that has happened in this trial, I just spoke with her,

and with the U.S. Attorney's Office team, and she's in a good place.

She's pleased that, again, that the jury has found him liable,

or is guilty of two federal crimes.

The judge will decide the sentence after considering letters from both attorneys,

which are due today.
