The court denied mistrial and evidentiary motions as Jane's cross-examination continued through relationship, financial-support, and communications evidence.

Full day summary

The court denied the defense mistrial motion related to Bryana Bongolan's balcony-incident testimony and denied motions to strike exhibits concerning Jane. It also declined the government's request to recall Dr. Hughes, directing defense counsel to submit a proposed Napue instruction and stating that all parties would be heard on the sealed Juror No. 6 issue. Defense counsel then continued cross-examining Jane about her preparation, immunity, relationship with Sean Combs, drug use, travel, financial support, and communications. Jane acknowledged affection for Combs and benefits he provided while maintaining that emotional pressure and expectations shaped her participation in hotel nights and related arrangements. The court admitted defense messages, audio, and trip videos, many under seal, and the parties discussed limits of proposed cell-site records at sidebar.
