He denies all the charges. Today, we're going through an 87-page civil lawsuit. It names celebrity co-defendants, alleges trafficking over state lines, has a separate Michael Jackson element, and accuses Diddy of RICO by running a criminal enterprise which the lawsuit terms the Diddy Sexual Abuse and Cover-Up Enterprise.

And then later on in the programme, because everyone is talking about Rico on the federal side and the civil side, we have crime historian Christian Cipollini telling us how this charge was tailor-made to take down the mob. OK, first, we're going to take a look at this new lawsuit. And our resident criminal defense attorney, Sean Kent, is with me to listen and help me analyze what this all means.
