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.
