So tell me, what do you think of the prosecution? Are they making the link between what Cassie is saying there on the stand and the charges that Diddy is facing?

Yeah, and the prosecutors also introduced, we heard, Aaron just mentioned it, those explicit images of these freak-offs. Cassie's testifying they happened in multiple states and residences. What's their strategy here with all this?

All right. So how do you think the defense is going to counter the testimony that we've heard so far?

Brian Buckmeyer, thank you. We'll come back to you in just a bit. Cassie Ventura today again, as we said, detailing that alleged abuse, testifying Sean Combs turned the freak-off videos into blackmail. Combs denies the federal charges. His defense claiming his violent acts are domestic violence, as Brian just said, but not evidence of sex trafficking and racketeering.

But prosecutors have said the jury will hear a similar story from another alleged victim they're calling Jane. Let's bring in Maria Cruz Melendez, a former federal prosecutor who also served as one of the lead prosecutors in the case against R. Kelly. Maria, thank you so much for being here. Let's get right to this. What's the government trying to establish here with Cassie's testimony?

And to that point that you just raised, Cassie testified today that she saw Diddy inflict violence on others. Why does that matter here?

You brought your case against R. Kelly also for racketeering and sex trafficking. So you know what it takes to go up against a powerful, wealthy defendant. What are the similarities and the differences that you see here?

Maria Cruz Melendez, thank you so much for being with us. Still ahead, time to talk strategy. How's each side making its case and how might that play with the jury? We'll be right back.
