AUSA: Did you have any other involvement in this case?
Sankar: No.
AUSA: No further questions.
Judge: Ms. Geragos?
Combs' Teny Geragos: Ms. Sankar, this message from Damian Butler to Sean Combs, let's pull up the exhibit, line 363, days earlier, the legal filing
Combs' Geragos: Please read Nat Moore
Sankar as Nat: The article could have been worse, they are calling it a break up fight.
Geragos: Let's read some message not included in the chart.
[Cuing them up]
Combs' Geragos: Jane writes, I can be dropped off at my buildings front desk. And KK writes, he speaks directly with PD, I don't deal with him LOL, right?
Sankar: Right.
Geragos: Jane writes to KK, Pulling up to airport, smiley face? I'm excited to surprise him
Combs' Geragos: May I cover with AUSA Foster?
Judge: Of course... Jurors, while we wait I'm going to stand up and stretch, you may as well
Combs' Geragos: I think we need to shut off the screens for the public and Press Nov 22, 2023 - between Jane and KK, right?
Sankar: Yes.
Geragos: Jane said, I'm not doing any more hard partying... Then this one about the three years of wasted time
Combs' Geragos: Here is KK to Mr. Perez, asking How does he look? And Mr. Perez replies, Shockingly good, better than before, right?
Sankar: Yes.
Geragos: Nothing further.
Judge: Next Government witness?

[Sidebar over]
Judge: Ms. Johnson?
AUSA Johnson: When you say attended, do you mean to say the people concerned appeared from records, absent a video, to have attended?
Special Agent: Yes.
AUSA Johnson: Who are the participants in this chat?
Special Agent: Jules and Sean Combs.
AUSA: You read Jules
Special Agent (as Jules) I'm avail Fri thought Sunday, whatever flights work. Which one?
AUSA (as Combs) Friday at 4
AUSA: Where are the flights between?
Special Agent: LA and JFK in New York.
AUSA: Do document retention policies impact your ability to get documents?
Special Agent: Yes. I could not get these records.
[With jury out]
Judge: Shall we address Mr. Brendan Paul now?
AUSA: Better tomorrow morning.
Judge: The Special Agent will be on all day?
AUSA: Even into tomorrow. Then Mr. Paul, than a final summary witness.
Judge: What witnesses would the defense be putting on on Friday?
Combs' Agnifilo: Three witnesses... Vashta Wilson, Stephan Lind[something, strange pronunciation], and a paralegal in our office
AUSA: We don't have any of those charts yet
Judge: In terms of defense expert, I'd like the Daubert issues teed up.
AUSA: We'll work on it.
Combs' Shapiro: We'll be providing the Government with a supplemental response to Dr. Hughes' actual testimony
Combs' Shapiro: This Special Agent has no personal knowledge, she is just connecting up exhibits and asking the jurors to interpret them. This is not appropriate for a summary witness. It's just hotel records and flight records
AUSA Comey: Mr. Combs and Jules Theodore were discussing being in the same place at the same time. If this objection is sustained, we'll just have the Special Agent read in every text message.
Judge: This witness has no personal knowledge. She put together charts
AUSA Johnson: Who are the participants in this chat?
Special Agent: Jules and Sean Combs.
AUSA: You read Jules
Special Agent (as Jules) I'm avail Fri thought Sunday, whatever flights work. Which one?

Special Agent: Here was a charge from the London Hotel to this AmEx account.
AUSA: Whose AmEx account?
Special Agent: Sean Combs. Paid with an account at Signature Bank.
AUSA: Can you read this?
Special Agent: It's the Trump in Columbus Circle, I'm heading there now... Can you contact the front desk and get the p*** channel unlocked?
AUSA: What does Ms. Ventura say?
Special Agent: Just called them
