DIDDY DEFENSE: BLAME IRAN

Iran might be the key to Sean "Diddy" Combs' defense in his sex trafficking trial. Sources say his legal team may use the growing conflict in the Middle East to cast doubt on the federal case against the disgraced rap mogul. The defense may invoke the recent unrest during their closing arguments. Additionally, sources allege that Diddy's attorneys believe prosecutors have not met the burden of proof required for conviction. They may even choose to rest their case without calling any witnesses after the prosecution concludes, as both sides prepare for closing arguments scheduled for Thursday. Iran recently launched missiles at U.S. bases in the Middle East in retaliation for an earlier U.S. strike under former President Trump. It remains to be seen how the prosecution will respond if the defense uses this geopolitical context as part of its strategy Joining Nancy Grace today: Eric Faddis - Partner at Varner Faddis Elite Legal, Former Felony Prosecutor and Current Criminal Defense and Civil Litigation Attorney; Instagram: @e_fad @varnerfaddis; TikTok: @varnerfaddis Dr. Bethany Marshall -  Psychoanalyst, Author: "Deal Breaker," and featured in hit show "Paris in Love" on Peacock; Instagram & TikTok: drbethanymarshall, X: @DrBethanyLive Brian Fitzgibbons - VP of Operations for USPA Nationwide Security; Instagram: @uspa_nationwide_security, Kingsman Philanthropic's 2022 rescue missions of women and children in Ukraine, Iraq War Veteranide_security Lynn Shaw - Founder and Executive Director of Lynn's Warriors [an organization committed to ending human trafficking and sexual exploitation],  Host of Lynn's Warriors on YouTube;  X: @lynns_warriors, YouTube: @LynnsWarriors, Tisa Tells - Pop Culture Investigator & Commentator and Host of 'Tisa Tells' on YouTube; YouTube: @TisaTells, Instagram & TikTok: @TisaTellss Lauren Conlin - Investigative Journalist, Host of The Outlier Podcast, and also Host of "Corruption: What Happened to Grant Solomon; X- @Conlin_Lauren/ Instagram- @LaurenEmilyConlin/YouTube- @LaurenConlin4 Sydney Sumner - 'Crime Stories'  Investigative Reporter See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
