Yes. So this is a security video that was broadcast by CNN in May of last year. So four months before Combs' arrest. It allegedly shows him assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassie, in a hotel hallway in 2016. Prosecutors referred to the video in their indictment and want to show it to the jury as a part of their criminal case against him.
