The defense questioning her. Why is your testimony today different than in the past? And, you know, it's going to ultimately come down, what does the jury believe?

So we talked yesterday about the security guard, Eddie Garcia, who testified that he handed over that USB drive that had the video to Diddy for money, right? A hundred grand that he got in that brown bag. That raises a question, though. We still don't know who gave the copy to CNN.

Where did it come from? And a government expert witness testified that prosecutors had given him copies of the surveillance footage to examine along with a cell phone recording of that surveillance video. So that means someone recorded that security video off the TV monitor and we don't know who it was. Was it Eddie who secretly held another copy?

Chloe, another security guard testified that he actually recorded... Right. So remember at the beginning of the trial, Israel Flores, who was also a security guard at the hotel, he filmed the footage with his cell phone. So that could be what we're seeing, but we still don't have those answers because it didn't come up in his testimony. We just don't know.

Tomorrow is going to be a huge day. This is the last key witness that the government is putting on the stand. She is only known as Victim 2 or Jane, a.k.a. Jane Doe. She's another individual testifying under a pseudonym, a fake name. It's in an effort to protect her identity. And I'm sure we'll learn more tomorrow as to why she doesn't want her identity out there.

That is right. So I'm relying on our brilliant NBC News journalists who are inside the courtroom for Diddy.

That's right. So he's been granted immunity to testify. And Eddie is this... security guard who had worked at the Intercontinental Hotel. And in March of 2016, he was 24 years old and his job was to watch these security cameras. And so this particular day, he got to work in the afternoon and he was told that there had been a domestic incident involving Diddy that morning.

And the guard who had been working in the morning showed him the video. pieces of which many of us have already seen perhaps multiple times. And he was told that Cassie had not requested medical or law enforcement assistance. But then he got a phone call in his security office with a New York area code. And the woman on the line introduced herself as Christina Karam.

And the woman on the line introduced herself as Christina Karam.
Yeah, that's right. The whole point of her calling is she wanted to get her hands on that video. And he actually told her, well, you're going to have to get a subpoena or talk to the hotel manager. But it did not end there for Christina. No, not at all. So a little later, Eddie testified that he got a call saying that somebody was in the lobby asking to see him. And it was Christina.

So Eddie spoke to her and her whole spiel was that, did he just... didn't remember what happened that day. He was inebriated. He wanted to see what was on the video to refresh his recollection. He just wanted a glimpse. And Eddie really stood firm and was like, look, I'm really sorry. I cannot show this to you. You're going to have to talk to hotel management. But he did say to her, it's bad.
