Sean Combs trial updates: Court adjourned until Tuesday after Kid Cudi testimony

Homeland Security Investigations special agent Gerard Gannon walked a .45 caliber handgun in front of the jury after he testified the gun was found in a red suitcase in the guesthouse on Combs' Miami Beach property.

The jury examined photos of the ammunition that he said was loaded into the gun at the time it was found.

The jury also saw photos of other items Gannon said were seized from the home during the March 2024 search, including various illicit drugs inside a wooden box with a gold "Puffy" label on a bathroom countertop. There were also two boxes in a second-floor closet that contained bottles of baby oil, Astroglide lubricant and a green and yellow rubber duck.

The indictment described these items as "various Freak Off supplies."

On cross-examination, Gannon testified agents encountered six individuals on the property during the search, including a music producer and caretakers. Each was placed in handcuffs until the agents established who they were.

After Gannon showed the jury AR-15 style rifles with defaced serial numbers seized from the home, defense attorney Teny Geragos said there are other ways law enforcement officials can trace firearms in other ways, including fingerprints and DNA testing. Neither Geragos nor Gannon mentioned it is illegal to possess a firearm with an obliterated or altered serial number.

The defense introduced an exhibit under seal, described as a photograph depicting Combs and others. Gannon did recognize it and was not asked about it.

Dr. Dawn Hughes, psychologist, is the next witness.

Before testimony resumed, federal prosecutors signaled Kid Cudi would not testify today as they previously indicated.

They said they sent the judge a note indicating as much at 10:45 p.m. The note was not included on the court docket.

The HSI agent is back on the witness stand showing pictures of a Gucci bag seized from Combs that contained plastic bags of different drugs, including MDMA. Orange tablets with the Tesla logo tested positive for MDMA, prosecutors said.

The proximity of two AR-15 assault-style rifles with defaced serial numbers, baby oil, Astroglide, lingerie and seven-inch platform heels is, for federal prosecutors, a visual representation of their allegation that Sean Combs used violence and threats of violence to coerce women into stage-managed sexual activity with male prostitutes, an allegation he denies.

The upper receivers of the guns were found wrapped in a towel. The lower receivers and magazines were found in a box. The components were found on the same main bedroom shelving unit as the items that several witnesses have testified were used in "freak offs."

Special agent Gerard Gannon of Homeland Security Investigations returned to the witness stand Wednesday to show the jury more items he said were seized from Combs' Miami Beach home. The cutting open of evidence bags and holding up the actual items otherwise depicted in photographs added a dramatic flourish.

The jury heard of the AR-15s the same day they heard about other guns. David James, a former assistant to Combs, testified Combs had three handguns in his lap as he drove to Mel's Diner in Los Angeles to confront rival producer Suge Knight.

Once Gannon finishes his testimony, the jury is expected to hear from Dawn Hughes, a psychologist who specializes in sex trauma. Federal prosecutors are hoping she will explain to the jury why Cassie Ventura would stay in a relationship that Combs has conceded was abusive, marred by jealousy, drug use and domestic violence.

Homeland Security Investigations Special Agent Gerard Gannon told the court that the AR-15 assault-style rifle receivers and ammunition that he testified federal agents discovered in Combs' Miami Beach home were found on the same bedroom shelving unit as 7-inch platform heels and lingerie. He also testified that agents discovered a 30-round magazine containing 19 rounds, as well as a full 10-round magazine.

Court has recessed for the day. Gannon will resume testifying Wednesday, when the jury is expected to see additional items that agents allegedly recovered from Combs' Miami Beach home.

Prosecutor Maureen Comey said subsequent witnesses Wednesday will include Dawn Hughes, a psychologist who specializes in sex trauma; George Kaplan, a former Combs assistant; and Scott Mescudi, better known as Kid Cudi, with whom Cassie Ventura testified she had a brief romantic relationship while with Combs and whom she testified Combs threatened because of it.
