SUMMARY: Defense attorneys continued cross-examining Cassie Ventura in the federal trial against Shawn “Diddy” Combs, who faces five federal charges, including sex trafficking and racketeering. Ventura alleges years of abuse and violence, while the defense questions her involvement, presenting explicit text messages to suggest she was a willing participant in their sexual activities. They argue Combs’ abusive behavior stemmed from addiction, not sex trafficking. Ventura’s attorneys assert that the evidence will prove the abuse. Prosecutors allege the defense is attempting to delay the trial to provoke a mistrial as Ventura nears labor .

Defense attorneys are questioning Cassie Ventura on the stand again today in their cross-examination.

SUMMARY: Dr. Atiq Samani, a hematologist at Virginia Cancer Institute, had his medical license suspended in March after being accused of inappropriate conduct. The allegations stem from an incident at a Super 8 Motel on July 7, 2024, where Samani allegedly touched a medical observer’s breasts and pubic area despite her discomfort. Samani’s lawyers argue the accuser fabricated the story and had an agenda, pointing to surveillance footage showing her smiling before texting her boyfriend about the alleged assault. Samani has appealed the suspension, with hearings scheduled for May 28 and June 27, 2025.

The doctor contests allegations that he inappropriately touched a medical school graduate during what he claimed was a routine examination at a Super 8 Motel.
