Sean Combs Has hired a former FBI agent to subject his employees to a lie detector test. All of this after part of his money and owners had disappeared. This was what his former assistant said on Tuesday in the trial of the Mogul for sex trade.
FBI agent commissioned for lie detector test
On his second day of the trial, David James claimed that according to media reports, he was subjected to a lie detector test several times. Which was carried out by a man, the specified to have worked for the FBI. “It was very intimidating,” he said. He said the results had shown that he hadn’t lied. He said that a member of Combs ‘security personnel also told him that Combs’ former employee Capricorn Clark had also been subjected to a lie detector test.
Investigation by ex-fbi agents
James worked for Combs from 2007 to 2009. On Monday he became emotional when he remembered how he was introduced to the work environment characterized by Combs during the interview. A senior HR manager showed a photo of Combs on the wall. James said: “This is Mr. Combs’ kingdom. We are all here to serve him.”
David James’ statements in court
James also said that Combs’ security guards had searched his clothes and drawers after a cartier bracelet disappeared. He decided to finally leave Combs after he confronted his rival Sug Knight with three handguns. This was described by Casandra “Cassie“Ventura in her statement in detail.” That really shaken me, “said James. “It was the first time as his assistant that I realized that my life was in danger.”
Control in the personal area
James said Combs asked him to drive to a restaurant where Knight was said to be. And then to drive around the block after you hadn’t found Knight’s car in the parking lot. James said that “a strange calm” had hung up while driving. Although he also bluntly explained: “I remember that I thought that three weapons and three people were in this car.”
In the cross -question, Combs ‘defender Marc Agnifilo James’ questioned the incident. He asked James if he had objections to drive Combs while these three weapons had with him. What James reported according to reports: “With all respect, sir. If someone with three weapons is near them, I didn’t have the feeling that I could say something.” However, James agreed to Agnifillo that this behavior was “a radical deviation” of what he was used to from his work with Combs.
Fear for your own life
Agnifillo was reportedly particularly persistent in his cross -interpretation of James. Especially after the defense had previously tried to prevent his statement on the grounds that it was not relevant. The judge finally agreed with the public prosecutor, who claimed that this supports her charges for organized crime. For this purpose, Agnifillo James interviewed for a meeting with the government in which he was forbidden to reveal further details about the incident with Knight. James said he had sticked to it because he was told “nothing to say about what could put on him”.
Agnifillo later asked James whether he was granted immunity for his statement. James said he was not sure about the details. But believe that his lawyers would have made a rehearsal agreement that would give him a certain protection against law enforcement. So far, however, there is no evidence that a criminal offense was committed during the restaurant visit.
Relationship between Combs and Cassie Ventura
A few months after James’ attitude, Combs began a relationship with the 21-year-old Ventura, which Combs supposedly described as “young” and “formable”. James said he had only a few direct talks with Ventura. But the few he had had remembered more than 15 years later.
James said Ventura once noticed that Combs’ lifestyle was “crazy”. Whereupon he asked her why she didn’t leave him. “She said something like: ‘I can’t go away’,” reported James. “Mr. Combs controls so much in my life. He controls my music career. Pays my apartment. He gives me pocket money ‘, basically a salary. I just couldn’t imagine that it could leave it so easily.”
Further statements and witnesses in the procedure
Other witnesses to the public prosecutor who are planned for this week are Ventura’s mother Regina, Sharay Hayes, a male escort that was hired for freak-offs under the name “The Punisher”. And a law enforcement officer.
