Sean Combs’s former assistant, testifying under a pseudonym, said she hadn’t come forward with accusations of abuse because she “wanted to die with this.”

The woman testifying under the pseudonym "Mia" worked for Combs for years, smiling through multiple alleged sexual assaults, an experience she said left her with post-traumatic stress and suicidal thoughts.

May 30, 2025 President Donald Trump said in response to a reporter’s question about possibly pardoning Combs that he would “look at the facts,” acknowledging he has not closely followed the trial and stating he hasn’t seen or spoken to Combs in years since he entered politics.
