What to know about the trial After 29 days of testimony, the government rested its case against Sean Combs. Prosecutors put on 34 witnesses, ranging from alleged victims and escorts to law enforcement agents and assistants. The defense didn't call witnesses today, instead submitting evidence for the record. Combs said in court that he does not plan to testify, calling it “totally my decision.” Closing arguments will take place on Thursday and may continue into Friday morning. Combs faces five criminal counts: one count of racketeering conspiracy; two counts of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution. Combs has vociferously denied the allegations against him. This live briefing may include graphic descriptions of sexual violence.
