On the Friday prosecution played three voice notes Combs sent his then-girlfriend -- testifying anonymously -- over the course of their three-year relationship. On Monday, she read out loud the texts she sent him after Cassie Ventura filed suit against him in 2023. "I feel like I'm reading my own sexual trauma," "Jane" wrote. "It makes me sick how three pages, word for word, is exactly my experience and my anguish." Plus, MSNBC legal correspondent Lisa Rubin joins to tell us how she thinks the prosecution's case is looking.

A second anonymous witness testified that Combs pushed her to perform with a succession of commercial sex workers. In one text message she sent to him she wrote, "I don't want to play this role in your life anymore. It's dark, sleazy, and makes me feel disgusted with myself. I feel it's the only reason you have me around and why you pay for the house. I don't want to feel obligated to perform these nights with you in fear of losing the roof over my head." She sent that text in September of 2023 but testified that she participated in "hotel nights" with Combs through the summer of 2024.

The woman called Victim-2 in the government's third superseding indictment -- she's using a pseudonym to testify -- was dating him until his arrest last fall. She alleges he coerced her into a version of the sexual performances Cassie Ventura has testified about. She testified that Combs was paying her rent, and when she told him she didn't want to perform sexually anymore, he told her he'd stop the payments.
