Prosecutor Maurene Comey said the government has five witnesses left.

Those include three summary witnesses, a law enforcement agent and another former assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Prosecutors and defense attorneys are still in the courtroom, debating evidentiary issues.

They’re discussing exhibits that the defense objects to being included in the government’s summary charts that the jury is expected to see next week.

Sean “Diddy” Combs is slumped over his chair during this debate about admissibility of exhibits. At one point, Combs laid his head on his forearms on the defense table.

Judge Arun Subramanian said he intends to dismiss juror No. 6, but he will review the situation again over the weekend and let attorneys know if he changes his mind.

Subramanian said he found that the juror has been inconsistent in answering questions about where he lives, but after extensive argument from the defense this afternoon, the judge said he’d keep thinking about about it.

Subramanian said that in reviewing transcripts, he’s identified inconsistencies in the juror’s disclosures about where he lives and with whom when asked at different times. During jury selection, the juror said he lives with his fiancée and baby daughter in the Bronx.

But in an inquiry earlier this week, he told the court that he recently moved in with the woman and his child who’ve been living in New Jersey but also stays with his aunt in the Bronx four or five nights a week while he’s working.

Defense attorney Xavier Donaldson said the least they can do is bring the juror in to question him about the situation to ensure they have the record straight, even though the defense said earlier in the day they thought questioning the juror again would be harassment.

Donaldson said dismissing the juror, who is a person of color, “will result in the diversity of this jury being shortened.”

Subramanian said there’s some evidence of the juror acting with a personal agenda. The juror appeared to make an effort to stay on the jury when he told the court during the inquiry that he still has a New York license and that his bills go to a New York address that he still maintains so nothing has changed regarding his eligibility.

Subramanian said he wants to avoid the juror attempting to shade his answers to further questions in an attempt to stay on the jury.

Donaldson reiterated that the jury will be less diverse if this juror is dismissed.

Jonathan Perez is off the stand, and the judge is now dismissing the jury.

Judge Arun Subramanian is reiterating his order to jurors not to research or discuss the case.

Prosecutor Madison Smyser is now questioning Jonathan Perez on redirect examination.

Smyser asked Perez, a former assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs, whether getting items for Jane was part of his job. Perez testified that it was.

“Was your title personal assistant, or business assistant?” Smyser asked.

“Personal assistant,” Perez said.

He confirmed that his job included doing personal things for Combs, such as writing cards and buying gifts and flowers for his girlfriends.

He previously testified he spent about 1% of his time working for Combs dealing with personal matters.

Perez testified that Kristina Khorram, then Combs’ chief of staff, told him to set up for the “king nights.” He confirmed that he did not set them up for free; that it was a part of his job; and that he never set them up when he was on vacation.

: Defense attorney Brian Steel then briefly questioned Perez under recross-examination. Steel asked Perez to confirm that company accountants sorted where the reimbursement funds came from when he bought things for Combs including baby oil and submitted the expenses.

Perez confirmed again that he doesn’t know whether his expenses were reimbursed with Combs’ personal funds or company funds.

Defense attorney Brian Steel showed the jury a series of texts from different times throughout Jonathan Perez’s employment, in which Jane talked to Perez before and after “king nights.”

In some texts they planned for “king nights,” including packing items like underwear, and in other messages they’d discuss tasks for Perez to do for her or Sean “Diddy” Combs.

Steel asked Perez to confirm that on all those occasions she doesn’t seem upset in the messages.

Testimony has come back to Jonathan Perez’s previous disclosure in court that he sometimes used his company card to buy personal items for Sean “Diddy” Combs like outfits for Jane at sex stores.

Perez, an assistant to Combs from late 2021 to 2024, has now testified that he doesn’t know whether these charges on the card were paid off with company funds or Combs’ personal money.

Jonathan Perez confirmed that Sean “Diddy” Combs and the people close to the rapper never told him not to speak about things such as the “king nights” or drugs.

The former assistant confirmed that they only told him to tell the truth.

Perez also confirmed that he never saw Combs strike a woman or anyone else.

Defense attorney Brian Steel turned to Jonathan Perez’s previous testimony about a staffer finding, on an iPad at Combs’ Los Angeles home, a video of “Jane” and another man engaging in sexual activity.

Steel asked Perez if the concern about the video centered on the fact that a personal, private sex tape was on a business iPad. Perez agreed.

Perez estimated that he spent about 1% of his time working for Combs dealing with personal matters, like setting up for “king nights” and obtaining drugs.

When asked about Combs’ understanding of technology, Perez said, “He was not the most proficient when it came to technology, so we set up all technology stuff for him.”

Defense attorney Brian Steel asked Jonathan Perez about his interactions with “Jane,” one of Combs’ accusers who was in a relationship with the music mogul from 2021 to 2024.

Perez, a former assistant to Combs, confirmed he would help Jane pick out lingerie, heels and dresses for her. Jane trusted Perez with his opinion of what to buy, Perez confirmed.

Steel asked Perez if Jane ever appeared hesitant to go to a “king night.” He said no.

Steel also asked Perez to confirm that Jane seemed like a “willing participant” in “king nights.” Perez said yes.

Perez also confirmed, when asked, that Jane never seemed “upset or unhappy” after a “king night.”

Defense attorney Brian Steel asked Jonathan Perez whether he would sometimes do things of a personal nature for Sean “Diddy” Combs even if it wasn’t a part of his employment.

Perez, an assistant for Combs from 2021 to 2024, agreed.

Perez agreed that setting up “king nights” and purchasing drugs would be classified as personal instead of work-related. He confirmed that it had nothing to do with his work, and he didn’t believe he was getting paid to do those things.

Prosecutors have finished the direct examination of Jonathan Perez.

Defense attorney Brian Steel started his cross-examination by confirming with Perez that he still respects Combs.

Perez also confirmed that he’s seen Combs sad and cry at times while working for him.

Steel asked Perez if he recalls seeing Combs cry on October 26, 2023. Steel showed him an exhibit that helped Perez recall that Combs was upset that day but said he didn’t remember seeing Combs cry.

“Jane,” one of Combs’ accusers testified previously that she went to Combs’ home that day after she told him about her feelings about “hotel nights.” They broke up around this time, and Combs told her to come over so they could “be depressed together,” she testified.

Prosecutor Madison Smyser asked Jonathan Perez why he stopped working for Sean “Diddy” Combs in September 2024.

“There was a lot going on personally for Mr. Combs and there wasn’t a lot of communication about what was happening, so I thought it was a good time to leave to hopefully avoid a situation like this,” Perez said.

He testified the last time he talked to Combs was the day the music mogul was arrested.

Smyser asked Perez how he feels about Combs now.

“I feel great about him, the same way I felt when I was leaving my employment,” Perez responded.

Jonathan Perez, former assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs, testified that he dropped off items at Jane’s house to set up for her night with Combs on June 18, 2024, and then later dropped off Combs.

A few hours later, Combs called him on FaceTime and seemed angry and annoyed, and his voice was raised, Perez said.

“He was asking me to confirm whether or not another female had been on a trip we went on the week prior,” Perez said.

Perez told Combs “no,” and Combs thanked him before hanging up.

Perez testified he saw Jane on the call, but her back was to the camera so he never saw her face and she didn’t speak. The call lasted about 20 seconds, he said.

The jury saw messages between Perez, Combs then-chief of staff Kristina Khorram, and Combs security guard Faheem around the June 18, 2024, incident.

“Heads up him & guest are fighting. I’m about to head back and pick him up,” Perez texted them. Perez also told Faheem that Combs wanted him to bring cash.

In a separate group message with Combs, Faheem, and Perez, Perez said “need 3500 asap for his guest I’m going to take it to her.” Perez testified he was referring to Jane in the messages.

: “Jane,” who dated Combs from 2021 to 2024 and testified in this trial under a pseudonym, testified extensively that she was in a major physical alercation with Combs at Jane’s rented Los Angeles home on the night that Perez just testified about. The argument had involved Jane accusing Combs of being with another woman on a trip, she testified.

Jonathan Perez, assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs from 2021 to 2024, testified that he obtained drugs for Combs “a handful of times.”

He got drugs including Xanax, cocaine and molly from someone named “Guido” and “Babygirl,” he testified.

He would pay for the drugs with cash that he got either from Combs’ security personnel, the Gucci pouch, or a top drawer.

The jury saw a message that, according to prosecutors, Perez sent to one of Combs’ security guards, Faheem, in February 2024. Perez testified that Faheem usually handled cash for Combs.

In the message, Perez said in part, “$700 went to Guido.”

: Perez is testifying under an immunity order. Outside the presence of the jury, he invoked the fifth amendment, triggering an immunity order signed by Judge Arun Subramanian to compel Perez to testify. He is the fourth witness to testify under immunity at the trial.

Prosecutor Madison Smyser showed the jury a photo of a Gucci pouch.

Jonathan Perez, a former assistant for Sean “Diddy” Combs, said the pouch belonged to Combs, and it was typically filled with drugs and money.

Combs always had it with him during “king nights,” Perez also confirmed.

The jury saw messages between Perez and another assistant from July 2022.

In the messages, the other assistant told Perez to look for the Gucci pouch in the bathroom and if anything was outside it, to put it back in.

“I zipped it up – no residue and I didn’t steal one addy,” Perez texted back. He testified that meant there was no drug residue around the pouch and he didn’t steal any Adderall from it.

In other messages between Perez and other assistants in October 2022, Perez said that cocaine was found in a different bag, and that it should “never leave the Gucci pouch.”

Judge Arun Subramanian has returned to the bench following the lunch break.

Jonathan Perez, assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs from 2021 to 2024, is back on the stand to resume testimony, and the jury is entering.

After Kanye West arrived at the courthouse where Sean “Diddy” Combs’ trial has been ongoing, court staff quickly jumped into action and prepared for him to come into an overflow room.

A source close to Combs previously told CNN that West had been in touch with Combs’ family about possibly attending the trial to show his support.

West was stoic as he went through security. He kept his sunglasses on as he passed through.

Court staff cleared the hallway around one of the courthouse’s overflow rooms. A security guard inside that overflow room told CNN he was instructed to clear a bench in the back for West and whoever was with him.

West eventually went into an overflow room on a different floor. He sat next to Christian Combs, one of Combs’ sons, briefly, and then left.

This post has been updated with additional information.

The jury has been dismissed for a lunch break, and they’ll come back around 1:30 p.m. ET.

Jonathan Perez, a former assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs, will continue testifying after the break.
