DIDDY ON TRIAL RECAP: Security guards says Combs paid him $100,000 for assault video

Mike Marza and ABC News Legal Contributor Bernarda Villalona recap the testimony on Tuesday, June 3rd. A hotel security guard on Tuesday told the jury in Sean “Diddy” Combs’ sex-trafficking and racketeering trial that the rap mogul paid him $100,000 in an attempt to secure his silence and bury a video that is now the central piece of evidence in the criminal case that threatens to send him to prison for life.  In the video captured in 2016 by security cameras at the Intercontinental Hotel in Los Angeles – and shown to the jury during the testimony of three different witnesses – Combs is seen kicking and dragging his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.  Prosecutors have argued that Combs’ $100,000 payment to Garcia was a bribe and one of the underlying crimes at the heart of their allegation is that the hip-hop superstar is guilty of racketeering conspiracy. A woman being called “Jane” is expected to take the stand on Wednesday afternoon and to testify for as long as five days, according to prosecutors.  Jane is expected to be the third and final alleged victim to testify against Combs.
