‘Delusional’ Hillary Clinton savagely mocked for her response to LA riots

Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was brutally mocked by critics over a “delusional” X post describing the anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles as “peaceful demonstrations” while pinning blame on President Donald Trump for sowing “chaos” in southern California. 

“Comments off lol. She can’t handle the ratio. This is what Hillary Clinton calls ‘peaceful demonstrations,'” popular conservative X account Libs of TikTok posted, referring to how comments on Clinton’s post were restricted to only permit ones from accounts Clinton follows on the social media platform and accompanied by footage of the destruction in LA. 

The message was in response to Clinton posting her first and only comment as of Tuesday morning regarding the Los Angeles riots, describing them as “peaceful demonstrations” before Trump mobilized the National Guard over the weekend. 

“California Governor Newsom didn’t request the National Guard be deployed to his state following peaceful demonstrations. Trump sent them anyway,” Clinton posted on X. “It’s the first time in 60 years a president has made that choice. Trump’s goal isn’t to keep Californians safe. His goal is to cause chaos, because chaos is good for Trump.”  

WATCH: DEM, MEDIA OUTLETS INSIST LA ANTI-ICE RIOTS ARE ‘PEACEFUL’ DESPITE VIOLENCE, INJURED COPS

The comment sparked widespread backlash among critics, who repeatedly urged the former first lady to “shut up” and accused her of turning off comments to the post amid the backlash. 

“Ever notice that only leftists disable comments?” California Republican Liberty Caucus chair John Dennis posted in response to Clinton. 

Social media users were able to respond to Clinton through quote engagements, but not through direct replies as of Tuesday morning. 

“These are not peaceful Hillary,” Florida Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna posted to X. 

“A public figure and a fraud like herself shouldn’t be able to lock her replies, @elonmusk,” one person responded on X, tagging X owner Elon Musk. 

MUSK DOES IMMEDIATE 180 ON TRUMP AS SOON AS LA RIOTS RAGE

“Hey @ElonMusk, can you make it so that government officials and former government officials cannot turn off their replies,” another user posted. 

“Accusing the National Guard of causing chaos is a serious allegation that requires serious proof. I see none,” one social media commenter posted. 

“Hillary Clinton is delusional if nothing else,” another posted in response to footage of a fire raging as rioters waved a Mexican flag. 

Riots broke out in the left-wing city Friday evening after federal law enforcement officials converged on Los Angeles to carry out immigration raids as part of Trump’s vow to deport illegal aliens who flooded the nation under the Biden administration. Local leaders such as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Newsom, however, quickly denounced the raids in public statements while offering words of support for illegal immigrants in the state. 

Protests over the raids soon devolved into violence as rioters targeted federal law enforcement officials, including launching rocks at officials, with videos showing people looting local stores, setting cars on fire and taking over a freeway. 

NEWSOM’S POLITICAL FUTURE ‘PRACTICALLY NONEXISTENT’ AS LA DEVOLVES INTO RIOTS, SOCIAL MEDIA CRITICS PREDICT

Trump announced Saturday that he was deploying 2,000 National Guard members to help quell the violence, bypassing the governor, who typically activates the National Guard. California subsequently filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for efforts to allegedly “federalize the California National Guard.” 

As the riots continued raging on Monday, the Trump administration deployed hundreds of U.S. Marines to respond to anti-immigration chaos. 

“Approximately 700 Marines with 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division will seamlessly integrate with the Title 10 forces under Task Force 51 who are protecting federal personnel and federal property in the greater Los Angeles area,” U.S. Northern Command said in a Monday statement. 

Trump defended in a Truth Social post early Tuesday morning that if he “didn’t ‘SEND IN THE TROOPS’ to Los Angeles the last three nights, that once beautiful and great City would be burning to the ground right now.”

“Much like 25,000 houses burned to the ground in L.A. do to an incompetent Governor and Mayor – Incidentally, the much more difficult, time consuming, and stringent FEDERAL PERMITTING PROCESS is virtually complete on these houses, while the easy and simple City and State Permits are disastrously bungled up and WAY BEHIND SCHEDULE! They are a total mess, and will be for a long time. People want to rebuild their houses. Call your incompetent Governor and Mayor, the Federal permitting is DONE!!!” Trump continued, referring to the thousands of homes that burned in southern California wildfires that gripped the Los Angeles area in January.

Fentanyl kingpin caught with drugs to kill 48 million Americans and ironic handbook

FBI director Kash Patel praised his agents as well as those from the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) for taking down a major drug operation in Atlanta, resulting in the removal of 33 firearms and over 252 kilograms of drugs valued at over $9 million, from the streets.

The FBI, alongside the DEA and state and local authorities executed three search warrants last Thursday, resulting in the arrest of 47-year-old Bartholomew Keeton Harralson.

A federal grand jury returned an indictment charging Harralson with three drug trafficking and weapon possession crimes related to the drug trafficking operation.

U.S. Attorney Theodore S. Hertzberg said Harralson is charged with possession with intent to distribute controlled substances, possession of a firearm in furtherance of a drug trafficking crime, and possession of a firearm by a convicted felon. If convicted, he faces at least 40 years in prison and the possibility of life behind bars.

BONDI ANNOUNCES ONE OF LARGEST FENTANYL SEIZURES IN US HISTORY

“I’m proud of the outstanding work by our agents and grateful for the strong partnership of the DEA in this joint effort,” Patel said in a statement to Fox News Digital. “This was a major takedown – dozens of weapons, large quantities of fentanyl and meth, and key members of a sophisticated drug network taken off the streets. Together, we’ve dealt a serious blow to those profiting off addiction and reaffirmed our unwavering commitment to protecting American communities.”

FBI Special Agent In Charge Paul Brown said the FBI and DEA executed search warrants at three locations – one in Atlanta, one in South Fulton, and another in Douglas County.

On June 5, law enforcement executed a federal search warrant at Harralson’s Atlanta-area residence, and once inside, they located over 56 kilograms of fentanyl, 84 kilograms of methamphetamine, nearly 10 kilograms of heroin, and about four kilograms of cocaine, all in the form of powders and hundreds of thousands of pressed pills.

Law enforcement also found nine firearms at the residence, including one that was converted to operate as a machine gun, $145,000 in cash, and a book titled, “How to Avoid Federal Drug Conspiracy & Firearms Charges.” The Department of Justice said Harralson was arrested at the scene.

A second search warrant was executed at Harralson’s Douglasville residence, where law enforcement allegedly found two large pill press machines capable of pressing up to 25,000 pills per hour, and three hydraulic presses used to form kilogram-sized bricks of narcotics.

The search also resulted in the discovery of over 37 kilograms of fentanyl, about 13 kilograms of methamphetamine, over eight kilograms of heroin and more than six kilograms of cocaine.

BONDI, PATEL ANNOUNCE SEIZURE OF OVER $509M IN COCAINE LINKED TO CARTELS

The drugs, the DOJ alleged, were in the form of powder and hundreds of thousands of pressed pills.

Additionally, law enforcement searched a machine shop behind Harralson’s Douglasville residence and allegedly found about 1,375 pounds of binding agent used to press pills, 564 punch dies to mark the pills, 19 firearms, four drum-style magazines and a significant amount of ammunition.

Brown told reporters that two ballistic style vests were allegedly found in one of the residences

“Right now, we have an American dying every seven minutes from drug overdoses, and homicides occur twice each hour,” Brown said. “Our new FBI director, Kash Patel, has given our workforce a simple mandate, crush violent crime, and this is a big step toward that end in metro Atlanta. This major operation is shut down, and it’s just one example of the work the FBI and DEA agents continue to do each and every day.”

DEA Atlanta Acting Special Agent in Charge Jae E. Chung told reporters the operation resulted in the largest fentanyl seizure to date in the state of Georgia.

The 97 kilograms of fentanyl that was seized has the potential to kill about 48 million Americans, Chung said

“The DEA and our partners are working hard day in and day out to protect their communities from the dangers and violence associated with drug trafficking,” he said. “DEA’s priorities are to save American lives and to keep our communities safe. We will continue to leverage every partnership, every resource available to ensure the drug dealers who distribute poison, like fentanyl and other illicit drugs through our communities are brought to justice.”

The FBI and DEA conducted the take-down as part of Operation Take Back America, a nationwide initiative that streamlines efforts and resources within the Department of Homeland Security to not just crack down on illegal immigration but also achieve the total elimination of cartels and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs) and protect our communities from the “perpetrators of violent crimes.”

Chung told reporters the large quantities of drugs discovered in the bust showed they were being provided by cartels in Mexico.

Trump says more immigration raids on the way, rioters will face ‘greater force’ than LA

President Donald Trump said Americans can expect additional immigration raids across the country similar to the ones in California, while warning that any potential riots that break out in response to the raids will be met with “equal or greater force” compared to the government’s handling of recent Los Angeles violence.

“Mr. President, these protests obviously started in reaction to these large-scale ICE operations in Los Angeles. Should people expect to see similar operations in the rest of the country and with similar protests, similar responses?” a reporter asked the president from the Oval Office early Tuesday afternoon. 

“Yeah, as you know, we’re moving murderers out of our country that were put here by Biden or the autopen,” Trump responded, referring to the Biden administration’s use of an autopen to sign official documents that Trump has argued indicated Biden staffers were in charge of high-profile decisions and not former President Joe Biden. 

“The people are criminals that allowed these criminals into our country,” Trump continued. “And I don’t think that Biden knew what the hell he was doing. I don’t think he even knew about it. But when they opened up our borders for the whole world to come in, yeah, we’re going to get them out. We’re getting them out.” 

‘DELUSIONAL’ HILLARY CLINTON SAVAGELY MOCKED FOR LA RIOTS RESPONSE: ‘ONLY LEFTISTS DISABLE COMMENTS’

The president was addressing efforts by federal agencies to address wildfire management and prevention as the nation heads into the summer months, and he took a bevvy of questions from reporters regarding the riots that have spiraled in Los Angeles since Friday.

Local leaders such as Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass and Gov. Gavin Newsom, however, quickly denounced the raids in public statements while offering words of support for illegal aliens in the state.

The move sparked Newsom to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration for efforts to allegedly “federalize the California National Guard,” while Democrats across the nation have attempted to pin blame for the violence on Trump’s activation of the National Guard while characterizing the anti-ICE riots as “peaceful” demonstrations. 

Trump continued Tuesday that if riots break out in other areas of the country in response to immigration raids, violent protesters will be met with “equal or greater force” than those participating in the L.A. riots. 

“If we didn’t attack this one very strongly, you’d have them all over the country,” he said. “But I can inform the rest of the country that when they do it, if they do it, they’re going to be met with equal or greater force than we met right here.” 

Illegal immigrants in the U.S. “come from jails, and they come from mental institutions, and they come from all over the world, not just South America,” Trump added. “And we’re not going to let them stay.”

As the riots continued on Monday, the Trump administration deployed hundreds of Marines to respond to the chaos.

Rising singer fatally strikes 77-year-old woman in downtown Nashville area

Country singer Conner Smith struck and killed an elderly woman who was crossing the street on Sunday night. 

The 24-year-old was driving a Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck when he hit a 77-year-old woman, identified as Dorothy Dobbins, as she was crossing the street in downtown Nashville, according to a press release shared by the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department.

The fatal collision occurred on 3rd Avenue North near Van Buren Street around 7:30 p.m.

Dobbins, a local resident, was said to be inside a marked crosswalk when she was struck by the pickup truck.

She was reportedly crossing the street near her home when the incident occurred. She was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center where she died. 

“The preliminary contributing factor to this crash appears to be Smith failing to yield the right of way to the pedestrian,” police stated.

“He showed no signs of impairment. There are no charges at present as the investigation continues.”

The Metropolitan Nashville Police Department shared with Fox News Digital that further updates into the investigation may take weeks. 

An attorney for Smith confirmed in a statement to Fox News Digital that the “Creek Will Rise” singer was “involved in a car accident that tragically claimed a life.”

“His heart goes out to Ms. Dobbins’ family during this incredibly difficult time. Mr. Smith continues to cooperate fully with the ongoing investigation.”

Smith was neither under the influence nor distracted by his phone at the time, a source told Fox News Digital. The source also claimed that Smith was released right away after the accident because he showed no sign of impairment.

The fatal collision took place on the final day of the annual CMA Fest, a country music festival that was hosted in Nashville over the weekend. 

The “I Hate Alabama” crooner shared photos from his performance, but there was no statement on the crash.

The Nashville native rose to fame after he signed with The Valory Music Co. in 2019, according to Music Row. 

“I’ve always been in love with the storytelling of country music,” Smith said. “I’ve dedicated my life to trying to figure out how to be a songwriter, and how to capture those same emotions that I felt as a kid growing up in this town. Country music shaped so much of my life.”

Smith tied the knot with surfer Leah Thompson in April 2024.

Simone Biles’ tone with Riley Gaines gets husband and NFL player Jonathan Owens in spat

The Simone Biles versus Riley Gaines saga on Tuesday drew in Biles’ husband Jonathan Owens, a safety for the Chicago Bears, for the first time.

Owens has been absent from the fray while Biles and Gaines went back and forth on social media on the topic of transgender athletes competing in women’s and girls’ sports – contrary to a Federal executive order, no less.

Jonathan Owens Stayed Clear Of Disagreement

The Bears safety indeed hadn’t posted anything on his expansive social media accounts since June 4, when he re-posted a Bears post about the team’s media day.

That means Owens declined to be involved in the Gaines versus Biles back-and-forth from the moment it began June 6, when the Olympic gold medal gymnast and the NCAA 12-time All-American swimmer started their exchange – one Biles initiated when she called the 5-foot-5 Gaines a “bully.”

Sports fans got involved in the verbal fracas.

Danica Patrick got involved in the verbal fracas.

Jemele Hill and Stephen A. Smith, of course, had to get involved in the verbal fracas. 

But none of that caused Owens to say or echo anything to his 650,000 Instagram followers or 34,000 X followers until Tuesday.

That’s when Owens re-posted the latest X post by Biles on both his X account and on his Instagram story.

Biles Latest Post Gets Jonathan Owens Reaction

That Biles post, by the way, resembled something of an apology. It was conciliatory at the very least.

Biles said she got personal with Gaines, “which I apologize for.”

And you can weigh and measure the latest post by Biles in whatever way you feel is right. I’m not the thought police here. 

What does interest me is seeing that the NFL player, for whatever reason, didn’t weigh in at all until there was a conciliatory tone being struck by his wife.

It’s pretty obvious Owens must agree with everything he re-posted in the Biles “tweet,” including the part about “sports organizations have a responsibility to come up with rules supporting inclusion while maintaining fair competition.”

Look, no one has said transgender athletes shouldn’t be included. The argument has been why do they have to be included in girls’ or women’s events?

They can be included in events against biological boys.

Or perhaps, as Biles said, sports organizations should come up with rules or categories of competition that include transgender athletes. 

Owens Reason For Delayed Engagement Unclear

I’m not a social scientist. So I don’t have the answer for having it both ways.

But it’s clear one of two things is true about Owens:

Either he was too busy and caught up with the Bears’ OTA sessions and offseason program to join the disagreement between his wife and Gaines earlier. That one’s a little hard to believe.

Or he elected not to get involved until the issue didn’t include personal attacks and instead tried to put the issue to bed. In that regard, perhaps Owens wasn’t comfortable getting between the two women giving each other a piece of their minds.

Owens, by the way, has not discussed this issue publicly beyond his retweet or re-post on Tuesday. It’ll be interesting to see if he continues to engage or moves on to, you know, football.

Riley Gaines accepts Simone Biles’ apology, invites her to join fight to protect women’s sports

It appears that the social media feud between seven-time Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles and former All-American swimmer Riley Gaines has come to an end. Biles apologized to Gaines with a lengthy post on X and Gaines responded by accepting her apology. 

“The current system doesn’t adequately balance these important principles, which often leads to frustration and heated exchanges, and it didn’t help for me to get personal with Riley, which I apologize for,” Biles wrote. 

Biles apology came after she tweeted at Gaines, saying that the former Kentucky swimmer is “truly sick” for trying to protect women’s sports from the invasion of biological males. Biles then “body-shamed” Gaines and said, essentially, that Gaines looks like a man.

“I accept Simone’s apology for the personal attacks including the ones where she body-shamed me. I know she knows what this feels like. She’s still the greatest female gymnast of all time,” Gaines responded. 

However, while Gaines accepted the apology, she noted that Biles’ apology post still included points that are worth debating. 

“Sports ARE inclusive by nature. Anyone can and everyone SHOULD play sports. Competition, on the other hand and by definition, is exclusive. So the idea of “competitive equity” is nonsensical. Secondly, the boys are publicly humiliating the girls. To suggest that women and girls must be silent or ignore a boy who is PUBLICLY hurting or humiliating them is wrong. You can’t have any empathy and compassion for the girls if you’re ignoring when young men are harming or abusing them. I am not ashamed to be a voice for the voiceless.” 

Finally, Gaines urged Biles to join the fight to protect women’s sports, something the gold medalist has never done. 

“I agree with you that the blame is on the lawmakers and leaders at the top. Precisely why I’m suing the NCAA and support candidates who vow to stand with women. That’s why I joined [President Donald Trump] at the signing of his Executive Order. I didn’t see you there or championing this effort with your platform. Women’s sports can’t be used as an excuse for [girls] to center the feelings and validation of men and boys. I welcome you to the fight to support fair sports and a future for female athletes. Little girls deserve the same shot to achieve that you had.” 

While the “feud” might be over, the conversation shouldn’t end. As Gaines pointed out, Biles has a huge platform (with tens of millions of followers across social media) and could use that to positively advocate for women in sports. The ball is in her court, and we’ll see what she chooses to do from here. 

Rachel Maddow says it’s ‘game over’ for Trump as protests materialize

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow took aim at President Donald Trump on Monday and claimed he was “panicking” over all the protests against him, telling him, “Game over, big guy. You lose.” 

“He has no idea what to do with the sustained and growing and intractable and indomitable protest and opposition of the American people against him. And so he has decided to try to fix it by using the army. Sure. Game over, big guy. You lose. The movement against Trump is unstoppable, now more than ever,” Maddow said on her once-a-week show.

Maddow argued that Trump’s decision to send in the National Guard to help with the anti-ICE demonstrations in California was an example of the president not knowing how to handle a crisis.

“What we are seeing right now in California is a president panicking. We have never before in the history of the US presidency, seen a president who is less popular than this one at this point in his term. And we have never seen a president less politically skilled, less politically equipped than this one to turn that kind of problem around, and so he has panicked, he is trying to hit the eject button,” she said. 

Maddow argued during her show that someone convinced Trump “attacking immigrants would work for him politically.” 

She insisted that the thousands of organized protests across the country proved that his immigration policy was becoming unpopular, although polling has shown majority support for his deportation program.

“In town after town, in blue states and red states, in school after school, in parish after parish, in city after city. It has run him into a wall, because the American people do not want this kind of cruelty against the immigrants who live among us and are our neighbors and friends, and facing that kind of heart and that kind of resolve, and that kind of nonviolent good cheer… he has no idea what to do,” she said. 

Maddow has returned to only hosting her show once a week on Mondays after working every weekday throughout Trump’s first 100 days.

Maddow also criticized Trump’s National Guard deployment during a conversation with fellow MSNBC host Lawrence O’Donnell at the start of his show on Monday.

“Even if these protests were 100 times the size that they are, there still wouldn’t be an operational reason to bring in active-duty troops or federalized National Guard. I mean, it’s not that sort of thing. This is obviously not operationally necessitated, right, in terms of the security of the city,” Maddow said.

“Rachel Maddow is a tragic example of an individual suffering from late-stage TDS. We hope she is able to get the help she needs and that other individuals suffering from this disease see how bad it can get, and seek help before it’s too late!” White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital in a statement.

Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ ex testifies to disturbing details of rapper’s sex life

Jurors witnessed a testy back-and-forth between Sean “Diddy” Combs’ lawyer and his ex-girlfriend, Jane, during cross-examination Tuesday.

While on the stand, Jane, who testified using a pseudonym, told Teny Geragos that she had been texting Diddy about him buying purses for another woman. Geragos commented that Jane also received a bag of her own. 

“No, I only got trauma … after three-and-a-half years, I really don’t think I garnered anything,” Jane told the court. Geragos pressed, “How much do Bottega bags cost?” to which Jane replied, “How much does my body cost?” before asking the court for a break from testimony.  

When court resumed, Jane apologized to Geragos.

Earlier in cross-examination, Geragos asked about drug use. Jane said she knew he consumed drugs when she first met the rapper. However, she claimed she didn’t know how much.

Jane testified that on the way to the Turks and Caicos Islands, Jane saw Diddy’s eyes and teeth, noting that he wasn’t taking good care of himself. According to Jane, Diddy appeared jaundiced, his gums were gray and hands were shaky from over -consuming alcohol. 

Jane said she spoke to him about rehab and suggested a trip to Thailand. “What the h—, you think I need rehab?” Jane claimed Diddy said at the time. She admitted she wanted Combs to be healthier during the cross-examination. Jane said in the beginning of their relationship, she was with someone who was overdoing the partying.

Jane also testified Diddy was upfront with her about dating multiple women at the start of their relationship in 2021. She explained the rapper was “polyamorous” and she was okay with that at the time. She testified at first she didn’t mind because she was just getting to know Diddy.

DIDDY’S EX’S TESTIMONY COULD PROVIDE POWERFUL CORROBORATION TO ALLEGATIONS IN SEX CRIMES TRIAL: EXPERT

As her emotions for the rapper grew deeper, her feelings changed. “What was hard for me was the imbalance and the treatment…” Jane told Diddy’s defense lawyer. She continued that it was difficult when publicly it looked like Diddy was in a monogamous relationship with someone else.

After the trip to the Turks and Caicos Islands, Combs allegedly flew in other women. Jane testified that it was shocking. She called the woman a “hoe.” She admits to also using the terms brothel and escort.

“I was really feeling my man and wanted him to be mine,” she said on the stand.

Diddy paid Jane’s rent through their “love contract,” according to her testimony. The ex-girlfriend told the prosecution that she felt obligated to perform at “hotel nights” for the rapper because he had threatened to stop paying for her home. For “hotel nights,” Jane claimed she was expected to dress in lingerie and have sex with other men in front of the rapper.

Jane testified Tuesday during her cross-examination that she would tell Diddy she did not want to participate in “hotel nights” and Combs would be dismissive.

She told the defense that she definitely thought the rapper would use the rent as a “tool.”

During cross-examination, Jane said in 2022 she was trying to figure out her relationship with Diddy and came upon the term “cuckold” – a word for a man turned on watching his woman have sex with another man. According to Jane, she wanted to know what was driving the rapper and to find an understanding of his alleged fantasies. She said she found multiple reasons, including that a “cuckold” derives pleasure from seeing his woman receive pleasure from another man. Jane testified that “cucks” could also have a curiosity that they were too ashamed to experience themselves, so they used a woman.

Jane claimed Diddy liked to use voyeurism and escapism. “I would use the work ‘cuck’ for him,” she told his defense lawyers.

TOP 5 DIDDY INDICTMENT BOMBSHELLS: WHAT EXPERTS PREDICT FOR FUTURE OF FALLEN MUSIC MOGUL

Judge Arun Subramanian denied Diddy’s request for a mistrial Tuesday morning ahead of the cross-examination of the rapper’s ex-girlfriend.

Jurors heard testimony last week from Cassie Ventura’s friend, Bryana “Bana” Bongolan, who claimed Diddy dangled her off a 17th floor balcony in September 2016. Portions of her testimony were questioned after Bana couldn’t remember details of the alleged incident, including what drugs she was on at the time. 

Diddy’s legal team argued that the prosecution knowingly presented false testimony to the court in a letter filed June 7 and obtained by Fox News Digital.

Diddy’s legal team wrote that Cassie and Bana each provided “demonstrably false” evidence about the balcony allegation to the court, and then “doubled down, using this false testimony to obtain a ruling admitting inadmissible hearsay evidence about it as well, all to present a false narrative to the jury.”

EX-ASSISTANT’S HARROWING TESTIMONY EXPOSES ALLEGED ABUSE, FORCED LABOR AND DRUG TRAFFICKING BY DIDDY: EXPERT

However, the federal judge ruled there was no interference. Judge Subramanian noted the defense was able to, and did, attack Bongolan’s testimony to undermine her credibility. According to the judge, there was no prejudice to an exhibit that had helped the defense’s case.

Diddy’s defense argued the issue could not be raised before Bongolan took the stand, and it’s obvious she perjured herself. The defense insisted there is no basis that the government wasn’t aware this testimony was false.

The prosecution said there wasn’t perjury and Bongolan’s testimony could be explained by confusion, mistakes or faulty memory. The government pointed out Bongolan admitted she didn’t remember all the details.

Following Bongolan’s testimony, Didddy’s ex-girlfriend Jane took the stand. Testifying under a pseudonym, she told the jury about meeting the “Last Night” rapper in 2020. The two began their romantic relationship in 2021 and dated until his September 2024 arrest.

According to Jane, she was forced to participate in “hotel nights.” During these sessions, which could last anywhere from 24 hours to multiple days, she was allegedly expected to have sex with other men while Diddy watched.

Jane was dating Diddy when Cassie’s sexual abuse lawsuit was made public. She claimed she read three pages that showcased a similar experience to hers.

“I was reading these pages, and they felt like a nightmare,” she told the jury. Jane began to cry on the stand, saying she had a lot of sympathy for Cassie. “I can’t believe I’m reading my own story,” she recalled thinking at the time.

Jane testified from Thursday through Monday. Her cross-examination began Tuesday.
