| 0:00.0 | Crime Alert. I'm Nancy Grace. Breaking Crime News now. Sean Combs lawyers push for a mistrial. The judge denied it. What else lies ahead in the testimony? Standing by our John Limley. John, what's the latest? |
| 0:15.1 | In Manhattan Federal Court on Monday, the high-profile sex trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean Diddy Combs entered a |
| 0:22.9 | pivotal phase. The defense concluded its cross-examination of Mia, a former assistant who has accused |
| 0:30.3 | Combs of repeated sexual assault during her employment from 2009 to 2017. Under intense questioning by defense attorney Brian Steele, Mia was presented with |
| 0:42.0 | past social media posts and text messages that appeared to praise Combs, including a 2019 message |
| 0:49.1 | where she dreamed he rescued her from R. Kelly. Steele suggested these communications undermined her allegations. |

| 1:50.0 | In a recent development, Combs' legal team filed a motion for a retrial, alleging that government |
| 1:56.1 | leaks, including a 2016 hotel surveillance video aired by CNN, |
| 2:01.9 | have prejudiced the jury pool and deprived Combs of a fair trial. |
| 2:06.6 | The prosecution denied any involvement in the leaks, |
| 2:09.7 | labeling the defense's claims as baseless |
| 2:12.5 | and an attempt to exclude damning evidence. |
