Diddy trial verdict: Jury convicts on 2 charges; Diddy now faces jail time | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: Sean “Diddy” Combs was found not guilty of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges but convicted on two counts of transportation to engage in prostitution related to sex parties. The trial lasted nearly a month, with prosecutors presenting testimony from 34 witnesses, including Cassie Ventura, who described abuse. However, jurors concluded that the encounters were consensual and dismissed the notion of a criminal enterprise. Despite the conviction on lesser charges, Combs now faces up to ten years in federal prison. His defense maintains all sexual activities were consensual. This verdict marks the first federal convictions against Combs.
Sean “Diddy” Combs was found guilty of prostitution but acquitted on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. FOX’s Mike Emanuel has the details.

‘True MAGA attorney’ Aaron Reitz joins race for Texas attorney general
SUMMARY: Aaron Reitz, former U.S. assistant attorney general, is running for Texas attorney general to strengthen ties with the Trump administration. A former deputy under Ken Paxton, Reitz supports conservative litigation, especially against diversity and equity programs in schools, continuing Paxton’s approach. He defended Paxton during his 2023 impeachment and criticized Paxton’s critics as “low energy.” Reitz’s 2026 GOP primary opponents include Senators Joan Huffman and Mayes Middleton, both with strong conservative credentials. Reitz vows to fight the Biden administration if Democrats control the White House and emphasizes his readiness to continue Texas’s legal battles on conservative issues.

MAP: Where have earthquakes been recorded in Texas?
SUMMARY: Since 1900, Texas has experienced over 4,000 earthquakes, with 88 reaching magnitude 4 or higher and 10 at magnitude 5 or greater. The strongest recorded quake was a magnitude 5.8 in 1931 near Valentine, causing severe damage to buildings. Earthquakes occur statewide but cluster in West Texas, where many fault zones exist and fracking is common. Human activities like fracking, mining, and dam construction have contributed to a rise in induced earthquakes. Since 2020, 84% of Texas’s earthquakes of magnitude 2.5 or greater have occurred, showing a sharp increase in seismic activity in recent years.
