3.Joseph Cerciello — Direct (Part 1)

MS. COMEY: Good morning.

MS. COMEY: Where do you work?

MS. COMEY: Is that also known as HSI?

MS. COMEY: How long have you been a special agent with HSI?

MS. COMEY: What is your current assignment?

MS. COMEY: How long has that been your assignment?

MS. COMEY: Generally, what are your duties and responsibilities as a special agent?

MS. COMEY: I want to be clear here. Did you have any involvement in the investigation of this case?

MS. COMEY: Did the Joint Terrorism Task Force have anything to do with the investigation of this case?

MS. COMEY: Approximately when did you get involved in this case?

MS. COMEY: And what were you asked to do?

MS. COMEY: Were your asked to verify that the information in those charts accurately reflected information in the exhibits you reviewed?

MS. COMEY: So can you explain at a high level generally what you did to verify the accuracy of the charts you were provided?

MS. COMEY: What are some of the types of exhibits you reviewed when verifying the accuracy of charts for this case?

MS. COMEY: Collectively in total, how many pages were the text messages you reviewed?

MS. COMEY: How many pages were the financial records you reviewed?

MS. COMEY: How about the phone records you reviewed?

MS. COMEY: Who decided what exhibits you would review?

MS. COMEY: Now, do you believe you have reviewed all of the documents gathered in this investigation?

MS. COMEY: Do you believe you have reviewed all of the exhibits an admitted at this trial?

MS. COMEY: Who decided what exhibits would be referenced in the charts you reviewed?

MS. COMEY: And who decided what information would be contained in those charts?

MS. COMEY: So what was your only role with respect to these charts?

MS. COMEY: And make sure they were accurate?

MS. COMEY: I'd like you to take a look at the documents to your left, please. They should be what's been marked for identification as Government Exhibits 1406, 1408 and 1409. Do you have those?

MS. COMEY: Do you recognize those?

MS. COMEY: Are those three of the charts that you verified at the request of the prosecution team in this case?

MS. COMEY: Did you verify that the information in those charts is all drawn from Government Exhibits cited in those documents?

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, the government offers these three exhibits in evidence.

MS. COMEY: I'd like to start with Government Exhibit 1406. MS COMEY: Could we publish that, please? Now that that's up on the screen, your Honor, I'm going to be walking through some of the underlying exhibits. So in a moment I'm going to ask that the public screens be turned off because they have some identifying information for Jane. This chart does not so we can leave it up for now.

MS. COMEY: Agent Cerciello, generally what is contained in this chart?

MS. COMEY: What is the only female name in the names column of this chart?

MS. COMEY: Without saying it out loud, do you know Jane's true name?

MS. COMEY: Did the prosecution team provide you with her true name and a photograph of her?

MS. COMEY: When checking this chart for accuracy, did you confirm that the records referencing Jane either cited her true name or her photos and videos had her likeness?

MS. COMEY: I want to walk through the columns of this chart. Starting with the first one, what does date show? And I'm going to ask you to pull the microphone to your mouth and make sure that you're speaking into the microphone, please. What does date show?

MS. COMEY: And what does the location column show?

MS. COMEY: What is the government or the GX number in italics underneath the information in the location column?

MS. COMEY: What is contained in the names column?

MS. COMEY: What are the GX numbers referenced under each name?

MS. COMEY: What types of evidence did you check to confirm that each person named in this column has a government exhibit that corresponds with the date range for each row?

MS. COMEY: Were there some also videos and photographs of individuals?

MS. COMEY: With metadata lining up with the date range?

MS. COMEY: What is contained in the flight records column?

MS. COMEY: Are those flights around the beginning and/or end of the time range for each row?

MS. COMEY: What is contained in the finances column?

MS. COMEY: Are those financial transactions that took place either during or after the date range listed in each row?

MS. COMEY: Are there several rows with no entry in the financials column?

MS. COMEY: Does that necessarily mean there was no money exchanged by the names in the row during that time period?

MS. COMEY: Why not?

MS. COMEY: So does the financials column only reflect transactions that were in the documents you were provided to review?

MS. COMEY: Now that we've gone through the columns, I want to take a look at the rows. How many rows in total are in this chart? And if you want to look at the hard copy, you're welcome to.

MS. COMEY: What's the first date of the first row?

MS. COMEY: Let's go to the last page. That's page 17, please. What is the last date in the last row?

MS. COMEY: In what order are these dates or date ranges listed?

MS. COMEY: I'd like to go now, please, to page 15, row 39. What is in row 39?

MS. COMEY: How many rows are in this chart before the date that that lawsuit was filed?

MS. COMEY: Are all of the rows before that date in row 39 dates associated with locations?

MS. COMEY: And what are the majority of the locations in the rows before this lawsuit was filed?

MS. COMEY: After that row, do any more locations include hotels?

MS. COMEY: I'd like to go now please to page 16, row 43. What's in this row?

MS. COMEY: How many more dates are in this chart after the posting of that video? We can go to the last page if you want to take a look.

MS. COMEY: In total, how many dates are shown in this chart?

MS. COMEY: Does this chart necessarily list out every time that Jane, Sean Combs, and a third party were ever at the same location?

MS. COMEY: Does this chart necessarily list out every single time that Jane was at a particular location?

MS. COMEY: Does this chart necessarily list out every time that Sean Combs was at a particular location?

MS. COMEY: So does it only list the locations and dates that appear in the documents you've been provided?

MS. COMEY: Did you rely at all on any witnesses' testimony when you were checking this chart?

MS. COMEY: Have you reviewed any of Jane's testimony at this trial?

MS. COMEY: Do you know what Jane testified about at this trial?

MS. COMEY: So did you check this chart using only documents separate and apart from her testimony?

MS. COMEY: I want to look at an example to see how this works. Let's start with page 1, row 1, please. MS COMEY: At this point, your Honor, may I ask, please, that the public screens be turned off so we can look at underlying documents?

MS. COMEY: While that's happening, I can ask you a few questions about this row. Focusing on row 1, what is the date range in this row?

MS. COMEY: Before we look at the underlying documents, I want to be clear. Do you know whether or not Jane testified about anything happening in May of 2021?

MS. COMEY: So this row is just based on what the records show only?

MS. COMEY: So I want to start with the location column. What was the location for this row?

MS. COMEY: What is the Government Exhibit cited for that location?

MS. COMEY: Let's take a look at that. MS COMEY: Ms. Becker, would you please pull up Government Exhibit 7A-132. And can we zoom in at the top, please.

MS. COMEY: What's the name of this hotel?

MS. COMEY: Is this a 1 Hotel record?

MS. COMEY: Let's look at the name below. What is the name right underneath the hotel name?

MS. COMEY: What's the arrival date?

MS. COMEY: What's the departure date?

MS. COMEY: Down at the bottom, what was the total cost for this one-night stay at 1 Hotel?

MS. COMEY: Let's go back to now 1406, please, page 1, line 1. Let's skip over the names column for now and go to the flight records column. What's in the flight records column for this first row?

MS. COMEY: I want to look at some of the exhibits cited for this so we can see how you put this chart together. Let's pull up Government Exhibit 6L-101, and I'd like to zoom in at the top of page 1 when we get there, please. MS COMEY: Actually, are the screens off before we do that? Thank you, Mr. Deputy. So, once again, 6L-101. I want to zoom in at the top of page 1, please, just the header information.

MS. COMEY: What kind of record is this?

MS. COMEY: What is the name to the left underneath client summary?

MS. COMEY: Without saying it out loud, is this an entry relating to Jane's true name?

MS. COMEY: Would you please read the flight information, not her name, but the flight information below Jane's name?

MS. COMEY: Is the passenger information Jane's name?

MS. COMEY: And is the flight -- can you read us just the date and the departure and arrival for flight information?

MS. COMEY: Agent Cerciello, underneath the flight records column in row 1, is there a reference to E-168 and E-168-M?

MS. COMEY: What are we seeing here?

MS. COMEY: Is it in Jane's true name?

MS. COMEY: And over on E-168-M, does that have the metadata for that screenshot?

MS. COMEY: Looking at the last modified date and time, what's the date of that last modified date?

MS. COMEY: Starting with Jane, are the same records we just saw reflecting her boarding pass for the flight to Miami included here?

MS. COMEY: Do the remaining exhibits also come from her iCloud that are part of that E series?

MS. COMEY: And looking at Combs' name, are those same photographs or the same exhibits from Jane's iCloud also listed under Combs' name?

MS. COMEY: Is this the metadata for that video we just watched?

MS. COMEY: Let's look at the last modified date and time up above for the earliest one, the third line down. What is that last modified date and time?

MS. COMEY: Is that in UTC time?

MS. COMEY: What is the time in UTC time?

MS. COMEY: So would this be actually on May 21, 2021 at around 10:00 p.m. on the same day as Jane's flight to Miami?

MS. COMEY: Is this the metadata for that video we just watched?

MS. COMEY: Is the last modified date and time approximately two minutes after the metadata we saw for the video we just watched before this one?

MS. COMEY: Are these two more videos that are cited under Jane and Combs' names in the row we were looking at?

MS. COMEY: Are they similar videos to the two we just watched?

MS. COMEY: Looking at their last modified dates and time, were they taken at about the same time?

MS. COMEY: Now, are the last two exhibits under Combs' name the same as the two exhibits under the name Don?

MS. COMEY: What types of records are these?

MS. COMEY: What phone number -- what are the last four digits of the phone number that these records are for?

MS. COMEY: And looking at the entry next to the same number ending 9922 close to the bottom of the chart, who is the individual user of that 9922 number?

MS. COMEY: While we're pulling that up, Agent Cerciello, based on your experience as a special agent, including working with phone records, what types of information do phone records typically include?

MS. COMEY: Do phone company records typically reflect video calls that call over FaceTime in your experience?

MS. COMEY: And do phone company records usually reflect messages sent by Wi-Fi or data such as iMessages or WhatsApp messages in your experience?

MS. COMEY: And if the duration time in a phone company record is just a few seconds, in your experience, what does that usually indicate?

MS. COMEY: In other words, if a phone record reflects just a few seconds, is it possible that the call was never answered, and that was just time when the phone was ringing?

MS. COMEY: Is it also possible that the call was answered right away, and a two or three-second phone call took place?

MS. COMEY: What's the date of these rows?

MS. COMEY: Is the time looking up at the top of the chart in UTC time?

MS. COMEY: So what's the time in UTC of these calls?

MS. COMEY: So would that be four hours earlier in Miami?

MS. COMEY: So in Miami, would that be about 11:30 or so in the morning on May 22?

MS. COMEY: Is that the same day as the check-in date we saw in the hotel record under the name Phil Pines at the 1 Hotel?

MS. COMEY: What number is Combs' 9922 phone connecting with on these three entries?

MS. COMEY: Do you see it around the middle of the page?

MS. COMEY: Who is the individual user for that number?

MS. COMEY: Is this a text chain between that 9922 number and that 0305 number we just saw in those phone records?

MS. COMEY: Is this from the 992 -- an extraction of the 9922 number?

MS. COMEY: What contact name was Donald James' number saved under in the 9922 phone?

MS. COMEY: What is the date in the next row of this chart?

MS. COMEY: Yes.

MS. COMEY: Does that necessarily mean there were no more communications among Jane, Combs, and any third parties between May of 2021 and October of 2021?

MS. COMEY: Or is it just that there were none indicated in the records you received?

MS. COMEY: Now, in your experience as a special agent, do different companies have different record retention policies?

MS. COMEY: How does that impact investigations into events that happened years earlier?

MS. COMEY: Before we move on to other rows, I want to take a look at those travel records we saw one more time. MS COMEY: Can we pull up Government Exhibit 6L-101, page 2, please:

MS. COMEY: Looking at the entry next to 6/2/2021, does this show that Jane traveled to Miami again during a date between rows 1 and 2 of the chart we were just looking at?

MS. COMEY: What's the date when Jane flew to Miami here? Looking down at the bottom row.

MS. COMEY: What's the date and time of this record?

MS. COMEY: Is that UTC time?

MS. COMEY: So that would have been about 10:24 p.m. Miami time on June 3, 2021?

MS. COMEY: Is this call made the same day that Jane flew to Miami?

MS. COMEY: Who was Mr. Combs calling?

MS. COMEY: In other words, are there instances of other contact between Don and Mr. Combs that are not in the chart that we're looking at, at 1406?

MS. COMEY: What's the another date range of row 5?

MS. COMEY: What's in the location column?

MS. COMEY: What's the name under profile data?

MS. COMEY: And then a little lower on the page under check-in date.

MS. COMEY: Do you see the 12/3/2021 at the bottom half of this?

MS. COMEY: Looking at check-in date, do you see the 12/23/2021 that's reflected at row 5 of Government Exhibit 1406?

MS. COMEY: And what's the check-out date?

MS. COMEY: What's the hotel information?

MS. COMEY: What's the total cost of that stay?

MS. COMEY: What's the name under account?

MS. COMEY: Looking down at the bottom, the second to last entry next to 12/6/2021, do you see where it says losses and damages?

MS. COMEY: What was the cost for losses and damages?

MS. COMEY: What information is contained here?

MS. COMEY: Can you just read us the flights underneath Jane's true name, please?

MS. COMEY: Is this a flight record regarding Kabrale?

MS. COMEY: What does it say in the name next to passenger information?

MS. COMEY: Next to flight information, can you tell us the date departure and arrival, please?

MS. COMEY: What do we see in the financials column?

MS. COMEY: So looking at row 442, what kind of record is this, Agent Cerciello?

MS. COMEY: Is it for Cash App?

MS. COMEY: Looking at row 442, what's the date of that record?

MS. COMEY: What is the amount if we could scroll over to the right, please?

MS. COMEY: What is the subject?

MS. COMEY: Who is the sender?

MS. COMEY: Let's go over to see who is the recipient?

MS. COMEY: What names are listed here?

MS. COMEY: Let's start with Jane and Combs. Is the first exhibit for both of them the same?

MS. COMEY: Are these text messages between Jane and Mr. Combs?

MS. COMEY: What's the date of these messages?

MS. COMEY: I'd like to read through these. Would you please read Mr. Combs' messages in the green, and I'll read Jane's messages in the blue. You can go ahead and begin?

MS. COMEY: Ah my baby, is there even any flights? Let me ask KK. So far they found 230P landing at 1030P TMW night. Let me text KK.

MS. COMEY: Is the next cite for Jane the same cite under Kabrale?

MS. COMEY: Are these text message between Jane and Kabrale?

MS. COMEY: What's the date?

MS. COMEY: I'd like to read through these. I'll ask you to read Kabrale's green messages. I'll read Jane's blue messages. Could you start, please, with the second message down on the left?

MS. COMEY: Good morning, babe. Have a safe flight. When you land, just text me. I'll call you an Uber to the hotel.

MS. COMEY: Have you landed? Sorry, I missed your call

MS. COMEY: Got your bags?

MS. COMEY: Then is the next government exhibit under Mr. Combs' name, the same exhibit that's cited under Chase Watkins' name?

MS. COMEY: Why don't I have you take a look at the hard copy. So we've got the hard copy, page 2, line 5. Is the next Exhibit under Mr. Combs' name the same as the exhibit under Chase Watkins' name?

MS. COMEY: Now is this a text exchange between Mr. Combs' 9922 phone and another number?

MS. COMEY: Could you read the other number for us, please?

MS. COMEY: Who is the individual user of that phone number?

MS. COMEY: I'll ask you to read Mr. Combs' messages in green, and I'll read Chase Watkins' messages in blue. So can you go ahead and read -- first, can you tell us the date of these messages, please?

MS. COMEY: Would you please read the first message from Mr. Combs?

MS. COMEY: Yes, I am. I'm on my way now. See you soon. I'll be there just before 10.

MS. COMEY: Is the first entry under Don the same Cash App entry we just looked at?

MS. COMEY: Then the next exhibit under Don is AX-103-A. What does the X in that prefix mean?

MS. COMEY: Are there multiple explicit exhibits throughout the -- referenced throughout the chart in 1406?

MS. COMEY: We're not going to watch it now, but can you tell us generally what kinds of explicit exhibits are cited in these are chart?

MS. COMEY: Who is visible in all of those sexual encounters?

MS. COMEY: Looking at row 23, what's the date of this entry?

MS. COMEY: What's the location?

MS. COMEY: Why is the word damage in parentheses next to the room number?

MS. COMEY: What is the name of the hotel that this record is for?

MS. COMEY: What name is to the left right under the hotel?

MS. COMEY: Looking over to the right, what's the arrival date?

MS. COMEY: What's the departure date?

MS. COMEY: What's the date of this report?

MS. COMEY: Would you please read what's written in the box below the header, please?

MS. COMEY: I want to take a look at the names column now. What names are in this column?

MS. COMEY: Starting with Jane and Combs, is the first exhibit for both of them the same?

MS. COMEY: What's the date of this text?

MS. COMEY: Is this a text from Sean Combs to Jane?

MS. COMEY: Would you read it, please?

MS. COMEY: How did Jane respond? Let's look at the next page.

MS. COMEY: Could you just read the bottom text and tell us the date and time of it.

MS. COMEY: Is that from Mr. Combs to Jane?

MS. COMEY: Is the rest of these with the prefix E references to materials from her iCloud?

MS. COMEY: While she's pulling that up, are these pictures of lingerie?

MS. COMEY: Let's look at the metadata. Can you tell us, please, the dates when these were taken?

MS. COMEY: For both of those?

MS. COMEY: What is this?

MS. COMEY: What does the metadata show for when this was taken?

MS. COMEY: Looking at the next two exhibits cited underneath Jane's name, are they also cited under Kabrale's name and Paul's name, respectively?

MS. COMEY: And looking at the rest of the exhibits under Combs' name, are they also cited under Reggie's name and Paul's name, respectively?

MS. COMEY: We're going to walk through those now. Let's start with Paul. MS COMEY: Can we please pull up Government Exhibit G-102, pages 52 and 53.

MS. COMEY: Yes.

MS. COMEY: Cool.

MS. COMEY: Looking at the top of this page, are these more text messages between Paul Arthur and a different phone number for Mr. Combs?

MS. COMEY: What's the date of these messages?

MS. COMEY: I'll read Mr. Arthur. You read Mr. Combs. Which spot?

MS. COMEY: Okay.

MS. COMEY: 15 mins. Five mins away. MS COMEY: We can take that down, and now, please, go to Government Exhibit G-103, pages 68 and 69.

MS. COMEY: Now are these messages between Paul Arthur and Jane?

MS. COMEY: I'd like to look at the bottom left. Is this from the same date as the messages we were just looking at between Mr. Arthur and Mr. Combs?

MS. COMEY: I'll have you read the blue messages, and I'll read the green messages.

MS. COMEY: I'll be there in 25 mins.

MS. COMEY: Who is the individual user of that number?

MS. COMEY: Down close to the bottom.

MS. COMEY: You said the first name was associated with Bridget Kreshover?

MS. COMEY: What is this?

MS. COMEY: What's the name of the declarant?

MS. COMEY: Is that the same name we just looked at associated with the phone number we were talking about?

MS. COMEY: What's the date of these texts?

MS. COMEY: I'd like to read through these. I'll read Bridget's and you read Mr. Combs. "He's available. Three exclamation points with screenshots below. Does this timeframe work for you?"

MS. COMEY: "He's land at 11:25."

MS. COMEY: "He has a client earlier today."

MS. COMEY: Laughed at the previous text. "Reggie is never tired." MS COMEY: Let's go to pages 5 and 6, please.

MS. COMEY: Can you keep reading, please.

MS. COMEY: "The flights is $420, and this is an overnight rate. You can CashApp the $420 for the flight, and the $680 deposit. Total $1,100. $Cowboys4Angels. Let me know when you sent it so I can verifies." MS COMEY: Let's go now to pages 7 and 8, please.

MS. COMEY: Edited to "let me know when you have sent it, so I can verify. I received the payment. Flights are getting booked. The remaining balance is $2,720. Where should he meet you when he arrives?"

MS. COMEY: "Reggie. Where should he arrive once he lands? " MS COMEY: Let's go to pages 9 and 10, please.

MS. COMEY: "His overnight rate its $3,400. You pay the 20 percent deposit so the remaining balance is $2,720. If you want to Cash APP that too, you can, or cash is always great."

MS. COMEY: "He's landing at 11:25."

MS. COMEY: Let's go to pages 11 and 12.

MS. COMEY: "In West Hollywood, he would be there about 12:30."

MS. COMEY: "He's reaching out."

MS. COMEY: Now, Agent Cerciello, is the reference to the name Reggie that we saw in this text exchange the reason that it is cited under the name Reggie in the chart?

MS. COMEY: Let's go back to the chart, please, back to 1406, page 9, row 23. In row 23 the last name is Kabrale. Let's take a look at what's cited underneath there. Can we please up Government Exhibit F-101, and we'll just look at pages 222 and 223 side by side, please.

MS. COMEY: Are these texts between Jane and Kabrale?

MS. COMEY: I'll ask you to read Kabrale's messages, and I'll read Jane's messages. But first, would you please tell us the date?

MS. COMEY: Would you please read the green messages?

MS. COMEY: "Hey, good morning," smiley face. You're in town...are you awake? London hotel. LMK when you're on the way. I'll give you the info."

MS. COMEY: "Sounds good," smiley face.

MS. COMEY: We can take that down and go back to Government Exhibit 1406, row 23, please. Now let's look at flight records.

MS. COMEY: What is in flight records here?

MS. COMEY: And then what's the next entry?

MS. COMEY: And is that quoted there?

MS. COMEY: And then what about Kabrale?

MS. COMEY: All right. Now let's go to financial, please.

MS. COMEY: What's in the financials column for this row?

MS. COMEY: And let's take a look at Paul's. Can we please pull up Government Exhibit 4E-101, page 1336 and 1335. Sorry. Can we get 1335 on the left and 1336 on the right.

MS. COMEY: What kind of record is this?

MS. COMEY: And what name is the account, if you look at the top left?

MS. COMEY: Now I want to look at the right, and I want to look under deposits and additions. Can we zoom in there, please.

MS. COMEY: Can you tell us what deposits were made into this account on January 24 and January 25?

MS. COMEY: Now, to be clear, do these records tell you where this cash came from?

MS. COMEY: So all you can say is cash was deposited into this account days after the date range indicated in row 23 of 1406?

MS. COMEY: Let's go back to Government Exhibit 1406, page 9, row 23, please. The last in financials with records referenced is Reggie. Let's take a look at the screenshot. Can we pull up Government Exhibit A-104-40B.

MS. COMEY: And can you just read for us what it says in the middle underneath the green check?

MS. COMEY: Now let's go back to Government Exhibit 1406, page 9.

MS. COMEY: For Kabrale it says no records located. Does that necessarily mean Kabrale received no money in this date range, or does it just mean the records you reviewed showed no indication of him receiving money?

MS. COMEY: I want to look at one more example here. Let's go to 1406, page 11, row 29, please.

MS. COMEY: Looking at row 29, what's the date?

MS. COMEY: What's the location?

MS. COMEY: And what does it say underneath the room number?

MS. COMEY: Let's look at Government Exhibit 7J-118, pages 1 and 2 side by side, please.

MS. COMEY: What's the name of the hotel?

MS. COMEY: What's the guest name?

MS. COMEY: What's the arrival and departure date?

MS. COMEY: Now if we could zoom back out, please, I want to look at the right-hand side.

MS. COMEY: What charge was added on April 26, 2023?

MS. COMEY: How much was that charge?

MS. COMEY: And what charge was added the next day, on April 27?

MS. COMEY: For how much?

MS. COMEY: What was the total charge for this stay?

MS. COMEY: Let's go now, please, to 7J-118-A, pages 1 and 2 side by side, please. I may have given you the wrong cite. I apologize. Go ahead and take that down. And let's go to 7J-118B. And can you pull up pages 1 and 2 side by side.

MS. COMEY: What kind of report is this?

MS. COMEY: And when it says type of report, what does it say?

MS. COMEY: What's the date of the incident report?

MS. COMEY: And what's the guest's name?

MS. COMEY: Would you please read what's written in the report?

MS. COMEY: Let's go now, please, back to Government Exhibit 1406, page 11, row 29, and I want to look at the names column.

MS. COMEY: What names are in this column?

MS. COMEY: Let's read through the exhibits cited. Can we please pull up Government Exhibit A-442-12, pages 58 and 59.

MS. COMEY: What's the date of these texts?

MS. COMEY: Are these texts between Mr. Combs and Jane?

MS. COMEY: I'd like to read through them, please. Would you please read Mr. Combs's green bubbles. I'll read Jane's blue bubbles.

MS. COMEY: "IDK. Have us now. I should have washed them, but we were at house. OK. I'm CHA space N 917 Chavez."

MS. COMEY: We can take that down. And back to Government Exhibit 1406, page 11, row 29, please.

MS. COMEY: Is the next entry under Combs's name the same entry under Paul's name?

MS. COMEY: Let's take a look. Please pull up Government Exhibit G-102, and we'll go to pages 91 and 92 side by side, please.

MS. COMEY: Are these more text messages between Paul Arthur and Sean Combs?

MS. COMEY: OK. I will read Paul Arthur in the green bubbles and you read Mr. Combs in the blue bubbles. But, first, what's the date?

MS. COMEY: Paul Arthur says: "OK."

MS. COMEY: "OK."

MS. COMEY: "20 mins."

MS. COMEY: We can take that down. Thank you. And let's go back, please, to Government Exhibit 1406, page 11, row 29.

MS. COMEY: What is in the financials column?

MS. COMEY: Let's pull up --

MS. COMEY: Well, first, what is the government exhibit cite?

MS. COMEY: Can we please pull up Government Exhibit stipulation 1301, page 4, and I'd like to look at paragraphs 24 and 25, please. "On or about September 17, 2024, in the vicinity of Atlanta, Georgia, HSI seized the GX J100, a cell phone from Faheem Muhammad's person. "Government Exhibits GX J100-A through J143, including the subdivisions thereof, are true and accurate excerpts of data extracted from GXJ100." Let's go to Government Exhibit J-141, please, just page 1. And can we zoom in on that box, please. Just the first two. That's fine.

MS. COMEY: What's the created date?

MS. COMEY: And what's the source in the second column?

MS. COMEY: And would you please read the second line down under body?

MS. SLAVIK: If I recall correctly, your Honor, the exhibit that was offered as J141 is, like, a 25-page-exhibit of several different Notes from Faheem's phone. And so my understanding was what this was an excerpt of is just one note that Ms. Comey is trying to offer.

MS. SLAVIK: Your Honor, I believe the foundation has been laid. The stipulation that Ms. Comey read indicates that the note was taken from Faheem's phone, stipulated to be a true and accurate record from Faheem's phone. So I think the foundation has been laid, and it is an authentic document from Faheem's phone. And I think the testimony from other witnesses, including just now, Brendan Paul, indicate that Faheem was in charge of distributing Mr. Combs's cash and often brought cash to Mr. Combs.

MS. SLAVIK: Your Honor, I think it clearly comes in as an agent statement, at the very least. There's been plenty of testimony that Faheem worked as Mr. Combs's agent, and he was responsible for maintaining Mr. Combs's cash.

MS. SLAVIK: The document is a note from Faheem's phone indicating that he delivered cash to Mr. Combs at the London hotel on the date of this hotel night with Jane.

MS. COMEY: And the specific entry, your Honor, is $5,000, PD personal, 4-24 (London-Faheem). That and the date are all I'm putting in. That's it.

MS. COMEY: That's all I'm putting in. I will redact everything else if the defense wants me to.

MS. COMEY: And your Honor, I will not pull the exhibit back up, given that I've agreed to redact, and we'll just pull it up for the witness and have him read that portion.

MS. COMEY: Thank you. Ms. Becker, can you please just pull up for the witness the exhibit we were just looking at so that we can just focus in on the one specific line that is cited in the chart. And if you could, for the witness, zoom in.

MS. COMEY: And so you had said that this was dated April 25, 2023, is that right, Agent Cerciello?

MS. COMEY: And is the source Notes?

MS. COMEY: And the only thing I'd like you to read, please, is the second line, nothing else, under body, starting with $5,000.

MS. COMEY: No, no, no. The one right above the one that just got highlighted. Thank you.

MS. COMEY: Thank you. We can take that down. And now I'd like to take a look at an example of a row that does not have a hotel listed. Let's go to Government Exhibit 1406, page 16, row 44, please.

MS. COMEY: What is the date of this row?

MS. COMEY: What is the location?

MS. COMEY: I want to look at the cite for that. Can we please pull up Government Exhibit J-124-D, page 4.

MS. COMEY: Are these text messages between Jonathan and Faheem?

MS. COMEY: What is the date?

MS. COMEY: And I'm going to read the second text message. Does it read: "Hi, Fah. We need $600 for Phil ASAP, please. We are out, and PD is about to go to Jane's house"?

MS. COMEY: And did Jonathan send that?

MS. COMEY: And who did he send that to?

MS. COMEY: And what date and time did he send that?

MS. COMEY: So would that be approximately 2:35 p.m. California time on June 18?

MS. COMEY: Let's look now at Government Exhibit J-122, page 1, please.

MS. COMEY: Now, without reading it, can you tell us, please, who are the participants in this text chain? Without reading the texts, just tell us who the participants are.

MS. COMEY: And then in between those two, is there also jperezmpr@gmail.com?

MS. COMEY: Let's take that down, and let me look at the top text here.

MS. COMEY: What's the date and time of this text?

MS. COMEY: What time?

MS. COMEY: In what time zone?

MS. COMEY: So would that be about 6:13 p.m. California time on June 18?

MS. COMEY: I'll read this. And is this from JPérez to Faheem?

MS. COMEY: So JPérez writes: "Me and PD en route to," and then he writes a location. Do you see that?

MS. COMEY: Let's go now, please, to Government Exhibit 3R-121.

MS. COMEY: Is this Jane's identification?

MS. COMEY: And looking under her true name, do you see an address?

MS. COMEY: And does that address include the language of the location that we just saw in the text that JPérez sent to Faheem on June 18?

MS. COMEY: OK. We can take that down. Thank you. And let's go back to Government Exhibit 1406, page 16, row 44. I'd like to look at the next column.

MS. COMEY: Are the texts that we just looked at from the J series cited underneath Jane's name?

MS. COMEY: And are they also cited under Combs's name?

MS. COMEY: And are there also images and videos from Jane's iCloud cited underneath both of Jane and Combs's names?

MS. COMEY: Let's look at a couple examples. Ms. Becker, would you please pull up side by side Government Exhibit E-249-M and E-253-M. And can we zoom in on the times, please.

MS. COMEY: So what date was this taken?

MS. COMEY: And on the other side?

MS. COMEY: Is that time in UTC?

MS. COMEY: And if we take that down and just look at the photos, does it look like the sun's still out in those photos?

MS. COMEY: Let's go back to Government Exhibit 1406, page 16, row 44, please.

MS. COMEY: Who is the third name --

MS. COMEY: On page 44 -- excuse me. Page 16, line 44. My apologies, Ms. Becker.

MS. COMEY: In line 44, who is the last name?

MS. COMEY: Let's take a look at what's cited here. Let's start with Government Exhibit 3R-123, please, and put it side by side with Government Exhibit 1312.

MS. COMEY: On the left, does that appear to be a screenshot of a contact?

MS. COMEY: And does that have a phone number ending in 1143?

MS. COMEY: On the right, let's look in the stipulation for that same phone number. Go to the next page, please.

MS. COMEY: Now, down at the bottom, third from the bottom, is that the same phone number in the contact?

MS. COMEY: What's the name associated with the user of that phone number?

MS. COMEY: And now let's go to the third record cited under Antoine's name. Let's go, please, to Government Exhibit 5C-361, and I'd ask, Ms. Becker, that you sort this record by date.

MS. COMEY: What type of record is this? Is it a phone record?

MS. COMEY: And for which phone number?

MS. COMEY: And is that the same number that we just saw associated with Shamel Douglas, a/k/a Antoine?

MS. COMEY: And I'd like to go now down, please, to rows 127 through 129. Can we highlight those row, please. Ms. Becker, is this sorted by date? Sorry. Can we unhighlight those, and Ms. Becker, would you mind, please, sorting this by date. OK. Now we've highlighted rows 127 through 129.

MS. COMEY: What is the date of these entries in these phone records?

MS. COMEY: And is the time Pacific Coast time?

MS. COMEY: GMT minus 7?

MS. COMEY: So California time?

MS. COMEY: And what is the time entry for rows 127, 128 and 129?

MS. COMEY: And without saying the number out loud, do you see the number that Antoine's phone is in touch with for each of those calls?

MS. COMEY: Let's take a look at that number and then go back, please, to Government Exhibit 1312. And I'd like to look for Jane's name, please.

MS. COMEY: Do you see at the bottom of the second page Jane's name?

MS. COMEY: Is that the same phone number we just saw in the records in the early morning hours of June 19, 2024?

MS. COMEY: We can go back now to Government Exhibit 1406, page 16, row 44, please. And this is the last thing I'll ask you to do for the day, Agent Cerciello. Let's take a look at the financials column.

MS. COMEY: Can you tell us what you see in the financials column?

MS. COMEY: Let's just take a look at those exhibits. Could you please pull up Government Exhibit J-144, pages 1 and 2.

MS. COMEY: Starting in that gray box on the left, who are the participants in this conversation?

MS. COMEY: And what's the date of these messages?

MS. COMEY: And who sends this first message?

MS. COMEY: To who?

MS. COMEY: And what does K.K. write?

MS. COMEY: What's the date and time of that message?

MS. COMEY: So would that have been the morning on June 19 in California?

MS. COMEY: Let's go to the next page.

MS. COMEY: Does Jonathan then like that message from K.K.?

MS. COMEY: And then what does Jonathan write next?

MS. COMEY: And was that text also sent in approximately the morning of June 19, 2024?

MS. COMEY: And how did Faheem respond in the next green bubble?

MS. COMEY: And finally, let's please pull up Government Exhibit J-120, pages 1 and 2.

MS. COMEY: Who are the participants in this?

MS. COMEY: And what's the date of the first text?

MS. COMEY: At what time?

MS. COMEY: So would this have been the afternoon of June 20 in California?

MS. COMEY: What did JPérez write to Faheem?

MS. COMEY: And then on the next page -- excuse me. At the bottom of that page, how does Faheem respond?

MS. COMEY: And then how does Pérez respond?

MS. COMEY: And then what does Faheem say?

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I think this is a good stopping point, since we're ending early today.

MS. COMEY: Your Honor, I have one very big chart to go through after this that might take a couple hours. So I think I might take up to the lunch break on Monday. And having conferred with Ms. Geragos, she might take us through the end of the day. So I think we'll hopefully rest at the end of the day on Monday.

MS. COMEY: That's right, your Honor. It would be helpful for us to have a sense of what's coming in the defense case so that we can raise any issues for your Honor over the weekend.

MS. COMEY: No. Thank you, your Honor.
