Judge: Overruled.
Sharay Hayes: I wasn't sure how they calculated it. One time Mr. Combs threw condoms on the couch next to us. I struggled. It was a failure.
AUSA: What happened?
Sharay Hayes: They went out, I finished. She came back and thanked me for privacy

AUSA: What did you think would happen next?
Sharay Hayes: I was worried I would not be used again. I hadn't done my job. He has said, I want to see you f*ck her. And I couldn't.
AUSA: Are you writing a book?

Judge: Mr. Donaldson?
Combs' Xavier Donaldson: I'll try to make this as harmless as possible. Congratulations on your book. What's it called?
Sharay Hayes: In Search of Freezer Meat. What's harder than that?
Donaldson: Good title.

This guy James is lying. From name dropping Trump Hotel, refusing to admit Cassie had been beat and dragging Obama through the mud. His pockets being fed by the diddlers to get the pardon from trump

Sharay Hayes: Yes. Now I'm a co-owner. All the male dancers are independent contractors.
Donaldson: You've been doing this for 25 years?
Sharay Hayes: 30 years - coming up on a big anniversary.

Combs' Donaldson: You dance with them?

Sharay Hayes: You try not to. It's a job.
Donaldson: But you talked with Cassie
Sharay Hayes: Cordial

Combs' Donaldson: She asked to be able to call you?
Sharay Hayes: Just to set the sessions up. We were never asked to talk.
Donaldson: She was comfortable with you?
Sharay Hayes: She said so.
Donaldson: You had feelings for her?
Sharay Hayes: Incorrect.

Combs' Donaldson: But you thought she was only doing this with you?
Sharay Hayes: That is correct. She'd said it was a special occasion.
Donaldson: You did develop feelings for her?
Sharay Hayes: That's not correct.
Donaldson: You told the Government....

There's so many funny gems in here it's crazy

The s***worker with erectile dysfunction is writing a book about it called "In Search Of Freezer Meat"

Combs' Donaldson: The Government's notes say you developed feelings for her.
Sharay Hayes: That may have been taken out of context.
Combs' Donaldson: You used your 25 years experience-
Sharay Hayes: This was a different scene. Usually I aim for humor

Combs' Donaldson: You wouldn't try to dry hump someone who didn't want to be dry humped, correct?
Sharay Hayes: Yes it is important to read the room.
Donaldson: So you read the room with Cassie and she wanted -

Agent Gannon: The HSI Human Trafficking group, s***and labor in Miami

AUSA: Why so late?
Agent Gannon: We learned Mr. Combs and his family were flying out of the country.
AUSA: Was there a pier on the property on Star Island?
Agent Gannon: Yes we had to monitor it

More details and context:

Special Agent Gerard Gannon said he was the special-agent in charge on the ground for the search of Diddy Miami Beach home on March 25, 2024.

Gannon said the search was assigned to his unit because it was tied to a human-trafficking investigation.

Between 80 and 90 law enforcement agents participated in the search because of the size of the property, he said.

The home is about 20,000 square feet, and includes a main residence and a guest house, Gannon said.

The search required the special response team to deal with security measures on the property, Gannon said, and about 25 special response team members gained entrance and cleared the property to ensure the property was safe to start the search.

They were prepared to potentially confront armed security, Gannon said.

Gannon testified that some agents were positioned on boats to potentially intercept anyone trying to leave the property via the direct water access on Combs’ property.

The search began after 3 p.m. ET that day.

Usually search warrants are executed early in the morning — around 6 a.m. ET or so — but they waited for Combs to leave, Gannon said.

Law enforcement understood Combs was scheduled to leave on a trip with his family, he testified.

Agent Gannon: To make sure bad actors wouldn't have time to put those who would search in danger.
AUSA: What's this a photo of?
Agent Gannon: The pool and the pier.
