Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Manhattan federal sex-trafficking and racketeering trial is in its sixth week now, and his defense team has yet to hint at whether the music mogul will take the witness stand.

Sarah Krissoff, a member of the firm’s White Collar Defense & Investigations practice, said “the defense does not need Combs to take the witness stand in order to pursue their argument that while Combs was, at times, a violent drug user with an unconventional sex life, he was not involved in sex trafficking or racketeering.” She further noted that “the defense was able to get this narrative in during the cross-examination of the government's witnesses," adding that "at the end of the day, it is Combs' decision whether or not he wants to testify. The court will make sure that Combs understands that it is his decision, not his lawyer's decision.”
