A warning, this episode contains references to domestic abuse and drugs. A Homeland Security agent gave further evidence on what was seized from Sean Combs’ Miami property during federal raids, including parts of a semi-automatic rifle, drugs including MDMA and ketamine, and lingerie, baby oil and high heels. Expert witness Dr Dawn Hughes testified as a clinical psychologist and outlined how trauma can affect memory and behaviour, stating that delayed PTSD and fragmented recall are common among abuse victims. George Kaplan, a former assistant at Combs Enterprises, told the court he was responsible for preparing hotel bags for Combs that included candles, baby oil and drugs, paid for with a corporate credit card. And anticipation builds for the testimony of musician Kid Cudi, once romantically linked to Cassie. He is expected to appear in court as one of five witnesses scheduled for tomorrow.
