Even if you're not paying close attention to the allegations against Sean Diddy Combs,
there may be one thing that you've seen about him in the past year.
And that's this video that aired on CNN.
New surveillance footage obtained exclusively by CNN appears to corroborate some of the allegations of abuse against music mogul Sean Diddy Combs.
The video, captured on multiple cameras,
shows Combs assaulting his then-girlfriend Cassie Ventura in a hallway at a Los Angeles hotel in March 2016.
The publication of this video last May by CNN felt like one of those turning points for Combs.
Before that,
civil lawsuits alleging violence and sexual assault had already been filed against him,
including by the woman in that video, his ex-girlfriend Cassie Ventura.
He denied all of those claims,
but the video showed Combs being violent, and it was shocking to see.
Months later, he was arrested for racketeering conspiracy,
sex trafficking, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combs is on trial now, and he's pleaded not guilty.
This video is a key piece of evidence in his federal trial in New York.
Prosecutors are claiming the video illustrates why Combs is guilty.
From the newsroom of the Washington Post, this is Post Reports.
