Mr. Combs’s lead lawyer made a final appeal to the jury, arguing in often sarcastic tones that the government’s evidence contradicted its case against the hip-hop mogul.

The 55-year-old hip-hop mogul is facing five criminal counts, including sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy, and transportation to engage in prostitution.

During the Diddy trial's second day of closing arguments, the defense called the disgraced rap mogul a swinger, not a sex trafficker.
