It's accompanied by a picture 95 00:04:58,654 --> 00:05:01,614 Speaker 1: or series of pictures of the family, which fans will 96 00:05:01,614 --> 00:05:05,174 Speaker 1: deconstruct for all their hidden Royal meanings. Charles and Camilla 97 00:05:05,214 --> 00:05:07,814 Speaker 1: released there's just over a week ago. The photo showing 98 00:05:07,814 --> 00:05:10,534 Speaker 1: the couple of Buckingham Palace taken back in April, their 99 00:05:10,654 --> 00:05:12,694 Speaker 1: arms around each other as they beam at the camera. 100 00:05:13,214 --> 00:05:15,294 Speaker 1: It's one of the first photos they took after the 101 00:05:15,374 --> 00:05:18,894 Speaker 1: King returned to royal duties following his cancer diagnosis. The 102 00:05:18,934 --> 00:05:21,494 Speaker 1: Palace says it was a moment they both felt things 103 00:05:21,494 --> 00:05:25,054 Speaker 1: had started to return to their version of normal. Princess 104 00:05:25,054 --> 00:05:27,974 Speaker 1: Anne released hers this week, with a picture alongside her husband, 105 00:05:28,094 --> 00:05:30,534 Speaker 1: Vice Admiral Sir Tim Lawrence, taken on guard a day 106 00:05:30,574 --> 00:05:32,934 Speaker 1: back in June, the pair riding in a carriage in 107 00:05:33,054 --> 00:05:36,334 Speaker 1: all their finery. Harry and Meghan released theirs just this 108 00:05:36,414 --> 00:05:38,854 Speaker 1: week too. Unlike last year, where it was just a 109 00:05:38,894 --> 00:05:40,774 Speaker 1: picture of the two of them smiling and clapping in 110 00:05:40,814 --> 00:05:43,454 Speaker 1: a crowd of people, this year there's a stack of 111 00:05:43,494 --> 00:05:46,534 Speaker 1: pictures of them together, of their children running towards them, 112 00:05:46,734 --> 00:05:50,254 Speaker 1: and of them on their not royal tour. But also 113 00:05:50,534 --> 00:05:54,174 Speaker 1: unlike last time, William and Catherine had already released their 114 00:05:54,174 --> 00:05:59,694 Speaker 1: family Christmas card by this time last year, some commenters 115 00:05:59,694 --> 00:06:02,654 Speaker 1: said that Harry and Meghan stole their limelight, so this 116 00:06:02,774 --> 00:06:05,294 Speaker 1: year we still haven't seen the Prince and Princess of 117 00:06:05,334 --> 00:06:08,814 Speaker 1: Wales season's greetings. So what does a British Royal family 118 00:06:08,854 --> 00:06:13,054 Speaker 1: Christmas actually look like? Well, usually the entire family heads 119 00:06:13,094 --> 00:06:16,054 Speaker 1: up to the Standring of the State, whereover Christmas Eve dinner, 120 00:06:16,174 --> 00:06:20,014 Speaker 1: they exchange gag gifts. Harry once famously gave his grandmother, 121 00:06:20,054 --> 00:06:22,774 Speaker 1: the late Queen Elizabeth, a shower cap that read Ain't 122 00:06:22,854 --> 00:06:26,574 Speaker 1: Life a Bitch? In previous years, he'd given her a 123 00:06:26,614 --> 00:06:29,334 Speaker 1: big mouth billy bass singing toy that she apparently hung 124 00:06:29,414 --> 00:06:32,494 Speaker 1: up at boomorl One year, William gave his grandmother a 125 00:06:32,494 --> 00:06:34,614 Speaker 1: pair of slippers with her own face on them and 126 00:06:34,934 --> 00:06:38,534 Speaker 1: gave her brother Charles a leather toilet seat. Megan revealed 127 00:06:38,534 --> 00:06:40,454 Speaker 1: in her book that she gifted her brother in law 128 00:06:40,494 --> 00:06:42,974 Speaker 1: William a spoon with serial killer written on it back 129 00:06:43,014 --> 00:06:45,774 Speaker 1: in twenty seventeen, and when Kate joined the Royals, she 130 00:06:45,894 --> 00:06:48,294 Speaker 1: gave the Queen a jar of homemade chutney made from 131 00:06:48,334 --> 00:06:51,454 Speaker 1: her own grandmother's recipe. She also once gave her brother 132 00:06:51,494 --> 00:06:54,854 Speaker 1: in law Harry grow your own girlfriend kit, obviously back 133 00:06:54,894 --> 00:06:58,974 Speaker 1: when he was single. So the Royals will wake on 134 00:06:59,094 --> 00:07:02,254 Speaker 1: Christmas morning to a full English breakfast before they all 135 00:07:02,254 --> 00:07:04,934 Speaker 1: head to church where the paparazzi and adoring fans will 136 00:07:04,974 --> 00:07:07,974 Speaker 1: be waiting. They then settle in for a gala lunch 137 00:07:08,134 --> 00:07:10,854 Speaker 1: followed by a buffet dinner, after which they'll play a 138 00:07:10,854 --> 00:07:14,534 Speaker 1: game of charades accompanied by a few sherries. At a 139 00:07:14,574 --> 00:07:17,254 Speaker 1: recent event, Prince William advised that a total of forty 140 00:07:17,294 --> 00:07:20,014 Speaker 1: five friends and family will be at the estate this year, 141 00:07:20,174 --> 00:07:23,134 Speaker 1: including Charles and Camilla, William and Kate and their children 142 00:07:23,214 --> 00:07:26,214 Speaker 1: and in her family, and Edward and his family, but 143 00:07:26,574 --> 00:07:31,294 Speaker 1: there will be several noticeable absences. Rebel Wilie is Mma 144 00:07:31,334 --> 00:07:35,774 Speaker 1: MIA's royal correspondent. Rebel Andrew went to Sandrighum last year, 145 00:07:35,814 --> 00:07:38,174 Speaker 1: but we're hearing he's been asked to stay away this year. 146 00:07:38,254 --> 00:07:38,774 Speaker 1: Why is that. 147 00:07:39,534 --> 00:07:41,414 Speaker 2: So there's a lot of heat on him at the 148 00:07:41,454 --> 00:07:46,614 Speaker 2: moment due to his relationship with this suspected Chinese spy. 149 00:07:47,374 --> 00:07:50,814 Speaker 2: So he's been developing a friendship with this guy for 150 00:07:50,894 --> 00:07:55,454 Speaker 2: possibly like a decade, and the British services, including mi 151 00:07:55,494 --> 00:07:59,814 Speaker 2: I five, so they're looking at this guy, and concerns 152 00:07:59,854 --> 00:08:02,494 Speaker 2: have been raised about how the Duke's lifestyle and business 153 00:08:02,574 --> 00:08:05,134 Speaker 2: ventures with him have been funded, including any potential links 154 00:08:05,134 --> 00:08:08,054 Speaker 2: to Chinese money. So the royals are really wanting to 155 00:08:08,134 --> 00:08:11,054 Speaker 2: keep this under wraps to draw any more attention to it. 156 00:08:11,134 --> 00:08:15,734 Speaker 2: Andrew has ceased his relationship with Tango, and so what 157 00:08:15,854 --> 00:08:18,734 Speaker 2: he's going to do is stay low at Christmas. He's 158 00:08:18,774 --> 00:08:21,774 Speaker 2: going to be locked away like the drunk aunt, and 159 00:08:21,814 --> 00:08:23,934 Speaker 2: nobody's going to be talking about him, and nobody's going 160 00:08:23,974 --> 00:08:26,134 Speaker 2: to be getting any photos of him. And that's what 161 00:08:26,174 --> 00:08:28,974 Speaker 2: we can expect from Andrew at Christmas. Now. 162 00:08:29,014 --> 00:08:31,574 Speaker 1: It seems like he's actually going to be quite solo 163 00:08:31,734 --> 00:08:33,854 Speaker 1: for him and Sarah this year, because even their kids 164 00:08:33,854 --> 00:08:35,654 Speaker 1: have got other plans for Christmas, right. 165 00:08:35,774 --> 00:08:38,854 Speaker 2: That's right, So he is just going to be hanging 166 00:08:38,894 --> 00:08:41,774 Speaker 2: out with his ex wife and the rest of the 167 00:08:41,854 --> 00:08:46,014 Speaker 2: Royals will be at Sandringham and we're probably won't for 168 00:08:46,054 --> 00:08:48,174 Speaker 2: seeing any pictures of Andrew. It suspected that he will 169 00:08:48,214 --> 00:08:51,734 Speaker 2: go and hang out with his brother the King prior 170 00:08:51,774 --> 00:08:54,414 Speaker 2: to Christmas a little pre Christmas festival, but that he's 171 00:08:54,574 --> 00:08:56,734 Speaker 2: definitely not going to be around on Christmas Day and 172 00:08:56,774 --> 00:08:58,854 Speaker 2: he won't be doing the Christmas Day walk to the 173 00:08:58,934 --> 00:09:01,094 Speaker 2: Church or any of the other public appearances that the 174 00:09:01,174 --> 00:09:04,014 Speaker 2: Royals can be expected to make it Christmas, right. 175 00:09:03,934 --> 00:09:06,694 Speaker 1: So the other exclusions, again, this year are Harry and Meghan. 176 00:09:06,774 --> 00:09:08,974 Speaker 1: Do we know if they were even invited or whether 177 00:09:09,014 --> 00:09:10,934 Speaker 1: they will be even in the country at the time. 178 00:09:11,454 --> 00:09:16,814 Speaker 2: They haven't been invited to a Sandraham Christmas since twenty eighteen, 179 00:09:17,094 --> 00:09:19,534 Speaker 2: so they stepped away for marial duties in twenty twenty, 180 00:09:19,574 --> 00:09:22,654 Speaker 2: but they've just been celebrating Christmas on their own since then. 181 00:09:23,174 --> 00:09:26,694 Speaker 2: This year, they haven't received an invitation, so it's likely 182 00:09:26,734 --> 00:09:30,734 Speaker 2: that they'll just be spending Christmas, probably with Meghan's mom 183 00:09:30,974 --> 00:09:35,254 Speaker 2: at their home in Monticito, California, with their children. Perhaps 184 00:09:35,414 --> 00:09:40,014 Speaker 2: Harry might come and visit his family solo prior to Christmas, 185 00:09:40,014 --> 00:09:43,094 Speaker 2: like a little pre Christmas get together, but there's been 186 00:09:43,134 --> 00:09:46,414 Speaker 2: no official invitation and they're definitely not going to be 187 00:09:46,454 --> 00:09:50,614 Speaker 2: there on Christmas Day or be part of the Christmas. 188 00:09:49,414 --> 00:09:53,134 Speaker 1: What's interesting is that Harry and Meghan have already released 189 00:09:53,134 --> 00:09:55,294 Speaker 1: their Christmas card did it on basically the exact same 190 00:09:55,374 --> 00:09:57,454 Speaker 1: day as they did last year. This year it includes 191 00:09:57,494 --> 00:10:01,134 Speaker 1: some more pictures of their non royal tours and pictures 192 00:10:01,134 --> 00:10:03,094 Speaker 1: with the kids, where last year was just the two 193 00:10:03,134 --> 00:10:06,054 Speaker 1: of them together. But last year William and Kate had 194 00:10:06,094 --> 00:10:08,774 Speaker 1: released their Christmas photo and then Harry's and Meghan's came 195 00:10:08,814 --> 00:10:11,254 Speaker 1: out almost afterwards, and there's all this talk about them 196 00:10:11,294 --> 00:10:14,214 Speaker 1: stealing the limelight. We have not seen William and Kate's 197 00:10:14,254 --> 00:10:17,654 Speaker 1: Christmas card yet as we are currently recording this conversation. 198 00:10:17,974 --> 00:10:20,214 Speaker 1: Do you think that that was a calculated move for 199 00:10:20,254 --> 00:10:22,614 Speaker 1: them to hold off until Harry and Meghan's was released. 200 00:10:22,814 --> 00:10:26,454 Speaker 2: I don't think anything is not calculated on the Royals. 201 00:10:26,494 --> 00:10:29,614 Speaker 2: They're really really trying hard to protect the image that 202 00:10:29,694 --> 00:10:31,894 Speaker 2: everything is fine and that we're all good here and 203 00:10:31,934 --> 00:10:33,934 Speaker 2: there's nothing to see here. I don't know what the 204 00:10:33,974 --> 00:10:36,054 Speaker 2: intention is that they haven't released it, but I think 205 00:10:36,094 --> 00:10:37,494 Speaker 2: that it would be a calculated move. 206 00:10:37,894 --> 00:10:40,334 Speaker 1: Speaking of the Cambridges, they're really shaping up to be 207 00:10:40,774 --> 00:10:43,334 Speaker 1: the big stars of the royal family at this stage, 208 00:10:43,414 --> 00:10:45,134 Speaker 1: so I presume that means we're going to be seeing 209 00:10:45,174 --> 00:10:47,854 Speaker 1: a lot of them over this little Christmas break, especially 210 00:10:47,934 --> 00:10:49,694 Speaker 1: on that church walk that they traditionally do. 211 00:10:49,934 --> 00:10:52,054 Speaker 2: That's right, and it's expected that the kids will steal 212 00:10:52,054 --> 00:10:54,254 Speaker 2: the show, Like the church walk is the first sort 213 00:10:54,254 --> 00:10:57,054 Speaker 2: of chance that the public get to see the Royal 214 00:10:57,094 --> 00:11:00,414 Speaker 2: family sort of celebrating a festive event. They're dressed up 215 00:11:00,454 --> 00:11:02,894 Speaker 2: in their winter wallies and they're walking to church, and 216 00:11:03,054 --> 00:11:06,414 Speaker 2: the kids will obviously be offering like little smiles and 217 00:11:06,414 --> 00:11:08,494 Speaker 2: little giggles and people are going to fall in love 218 00:11:08,494 --> 00:11:10,974 Speaker 2: with them. That's what happens every year, and so I 219 00:11:11,054 --> 00:11:13,334 Speaker 2: expect that that's going to be a big fee sharing 220 00:11:13,334 --> 00:11:15,294 Speaker 2: something that everyone's going to be looking forward to, just 221 00:11:15,294 --> 00:11:18,494 Speaker 2: catching a glimpse of them doing their thing on Christmas morning. 222 00:11:18,654 --> 00:11:21,694 Speaker 2: And of course the year that I've had with Kate 223 00:11:21,694 --> 00:11:24,174 Speaker 2: where she's been unwell and everyone wants to see her 224 00:11:24,334 --> 00:11:27,134 Speaker 2: and everyone sip wants to see her being happy and healthy. 225 00:11:27,214 --> 00:11:28,654 Speaker 2: So I think that's going to be a real highlight 226 00:11:28,694 --> 00:11:30,494 Speaker 2: this year for the Royal lovers. 227 00:11:30,774 --> 00:11:32,654 Speaker 1: Do we have any idea what Charles might be telling 228 00:11:32,694 --> 00:11:34,334 Speaker 1: us at his Christmas message this year? 229 00:11:34,774 --> 00:11:37,894 Speaker 2: So, given the world's turbulent year, it's expected that Charles's 230 00:11:37,894 --> 00:11:40,574 Speaker 2: address will strike a tone of calm and unity. I mean, 231 00:11:40,614 --> 00:11:43,734 Speaker 2: it's particularly important for his family right now, it's particularly 232 00:11:43,734 --> 00:11:46,174 Speaker 2: important for the world. So while we don't know exactly 233 00:11:46,174 --> 00:11:48,134 Speaker 2: what it's going to say, this is his second year 234 00:11:48,174 --> 00:11:51,054 Speaker 2: delivering speech, and assume that it's just going to be 235 00:11:51,094 --> 00:11:53,734 Speaker 2: something about peace and calm and unity. 236 00:11:54,174 --> 00:11:56,734 Speaker 1: Just finally, rebel what do the Royals eat for Christmas? Dinner. 237 00:11:57,014 --> 00:11:59,654 Speaker 1: I mean we chuck a few prawns out onto the table, 238 00:11:59,734 --> 00:12:02,094 Speaker 1: bit of seafood, maybe some turkey. What are the Royals 239 00:12:02,134 --> 00:12:03,094 Speaker 1: having when it. 240 00:12:03,054 --> 00:12:07,494 Speaker 2: Comes to Christmas Dinner at Sandringham? Tradition reigns supreme like 241 00:12:07,734 --> 00:12:10,534 Speaker 2: it's the same sort of feast every year, and what 242 00:12:10,694 --> 00:12:12,934 Speaker 2: they can expect to be eating. It's likely it's going 243 00:12:13,014 --> 00:12:15,734 Speaker 2: to be a roast turkey served with all the trimmings, 244 00:12:15,734 --> 00:12:18,774 Speaker 2: including sage and onion stuffing. They'll have roast potatoes and 245 00:12:18,774 --> 00:12:24,374 Speaker 2: mashed potatoes, parsnips, Brussels sprounts for the fans, and they 246 00:12:24,494 --> 00:12:27,894 Speaker 2: will always end their meal with a flaming Christmas pudding 247 00:12:27,934 --> 00:12:31,254 Speaker 2: decorated with holly and dass and brandy, so that doesn't 248 00:12:31,694 --> 00:12:34,054 Speaker 2: change much yet. That's what we can expect to be 249 00:12:34,054 --> 00:12:36,854 Speaker 2: served on the Royal table at Sandringham this year, and 250 00:12:36,934 --> 00:12:39,534 Speaker 2: I doubt there's going to be any pawns and salad anywhere. 251 00:12:39,534 --> 00:12:43,534 Speaker 1: Excite well, the Royal Christmas is discussing who won't be 252 00:12:43,574 --> 00:12:46,734 Speaker 1: at their incredible lavish estate for the holidays. The view 253 00:12:46,774 --> 00:12:50,454 Speaker 1: from Sean didty Combs's window this year looks very very different. 254 00:12:51,014 --> 00:12:53,294 Speaker 1: Next we delve into the latest on the Ditty scandal, 255 00:12:53,494 --> 00:12:56,894 Speaker 1: the lawsuit involving Jay Z, and why Will Smith felt 256 00:12:56,934 --> 00:13:03,294 Speaker 1: it was time to speak out about it too. In 257 00:13:03,374 --> 00:13:06,334 Speaker 1: a developing legal saga, Jay Z and Sean Didty Combs 258 00:13:06,454 --> 00:13:09,374 Speaker 1: face serious allegations of sexual assault dating back to the 259 00:13:09,614 --> 00:13:13,414 Speaker 1: year two thousand. A woman from Alabama has accused both 260 00:13:13,494 --> 00:13:16,814 Speaker 1: music moguls of assaulting her when she was just thirteen 261 00:13:16,894 --> 00:13:21,294 Speaker 1: years old at a party following the MTV Video Music Awards. However, 262 00:13:21,614 --> 00:13:26,094 Speaker 1: significant inconsistencies have emerged in the accuser's account. She claimed 263 00:13:26,094 --> 00:13:28,574 Speaker 1: to have spoken with musician Benji Madden at the party, 264 00:13:28,734 --> 00:13:31,334 Speaker 1: but records show he was touring in the Midwest at 265 00:13:31,334 --> 00:13:34,174 Speaker 1: the time. Her father, who allegedly picked her up after 266 00:13:34,214 --> 00:13:37,414 Speaker 1: the incident, has no recollection of making the five hour drive. 267 00:13:38,134 --> 00:13:41,854 Speaker 1: The accuser, now thirty eight, has acknowledged these discrepancies, stating 268 00:13:41,974 --> 00:13:45,094 Speaker 1: she made some mistakes in her recollection, but maintains the 269 00:13:45,134 --> 00:13:49,454 Speaker 1: core allegations are true. Photos from the evening also showed 270 00:13:49,534 --> 00:13:52,094 Speaker 1: jay Z and Combs at a different location than the 271 00:13:52,094 --> 00:13:57,214 Speaker 1: one described in the lawsuit. Jay Z has strongly denied 272 00:13:57,214 --> 00:14:01,054 Speaker 1: the allegation, stating this incident didn't happen, and suggests a 273 00:14:01,094 --> 00:14:05,174 Speaker 1: lawsuit was filed for money and fame. His attorney, Alex Spiro, 274 00:14:05,534 --> 00:14:09,094 Speaker 1: has requested the court dismiss the case, criticizing the filing 275 00:14:09,174 --> 00:14:13,494 Speaker 1: of such serious allegations without proper vetting. Another big star 276 00:14:13,574 --> 00:14:15,894 Speaker 1: has also called for his name to be kept out 277 00:14:15,894 --> 00:14:18,934 Speaker 1: of the mouths linking him to Combs. Will Smith appearing 278 00:14:18,974 --> 00:14:21,854 Speaker 1: on stage in San Diego last week telling the crowd 279 00:14:21,894 --> 00:14:24,654 Speaker 1: that he's seen the memes and thought some were funny, 280 00:14:24,854 --> 00:14:26,774 Speaker 1: but that he wanted to make it clear he does 281 00:14:26,814 --> 00:14:29,014 Speaker 1: not have anything to do with Puffy. 282 00:14:29,134 --> 00:14:33,774 Speaker 3: I, no man, and none of those stupid ships. Whenever 283 00:14:33,934 --> 00:14:41,494 Speaker 3: y'all heard if somebody said that it's a damn line baby, 284 00:14:41,534 --> 00:14:46,334 Speaker 3: wait your means was doing too much, y'all was happy 285 00:14:46,334 --> 00:14:48,614 Speaker 3: to be mad. 286 00:14:49,854 --> 00:14:52,534 Speaker 1: The jay Z lawsuit comes as yet more people come 287 00:14:52,574 --> 00:14:56,254 Speaker 1: forward with allegations against Cobs. Three men have recently filed 288 00:14:56,294 --> 00:14:59,934 Speaker 1: lawsuits alleging Combs sexually assaulted them between twenty nineteen and 289 00:15:00,014 --> 00:15:03,534 Speaker 1: twenty twenty two. One of these accusers was a former 290 00:15:03,574 --> 00:15:06,334 Speaker 1: employee who worked for Combs from two thousand and six 291 00:15:06,414 --> 00:15:09,894 Speaker 1: to twenty eighteen. According to the lawsuit, Combs assult him 292 00:15:09,934 --> 00:15:12,654 Speaker 1: in a hotel room in early twenty twenty after serving 293 00:15:12,694 --> 00:15:15,294 Speaker 1: him a drink that made him feel very tired and sleepy. 294 00:15:16,054 --> 00:15:19,614 Speaker 1: Another accuser alleges he was assaulted at Manhattan's Park Hyde 295 00:15:19,694 --> 00:15:23,614 Speaker 1: Hotel after accepting a personally made cocktail from Combs. The 296 00:15:23,774 --> 00:15:27,814 Speaker 1: incident was allegedly filmed, the victim claiming he received two thousand, 297 00:15:27,894 --> 00:15:30,934 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars the next morning from someone who'd recorded 298 00:15:30,974 --> 00:15:34,894 Speaker 1: the assault. The third man claims he was victimized at 299 00:15:34,934 --> 00:15:38,894 Speaker 1: Combs's East Hampton mansion between twenty twenty and twenty twenty two, 300 00:15:39,294 --> 00:15:42,454 Speaker 1: where he fell victim to one or more criminal sex acts. 301 00:15:42,934 --> 00:15:46,534 Speaker 1: Comb's legal team has vehemently denied these allegations, stating the 302 00:15:46,534 --> 00:15:49,694 Speaker 1: complaints are full of lies and vowing to seek sanctions 303 00:15:49,734 --> 00:15:53,534 Speaker 1: against the attorneys who filed them. His lawyers, though, have 304 00:15:53,614 --> 00:15:56,334 Speaker 1: also faced a recent blow in court, with a judge 305 00:15:56,334 --> 00:16:00,134 Speaker 1: saying there's no proof that prosecutors leaked that infamous twenty 306 00:16:00,174 --> 00:16:04,094 Speaker 1: sixteen surveillance video of Comb's physically assaulting his then girlfriend 307 00:16:04,134 --> 00:16:06,654 Speaker 1: Cassie Ventura in the hallway of a hotel as she 308 00:16:06,734 --> 00:16:10,494 Speaker 1: tried to leave. The judge denied combs request forhering into 309 00:16:10,494 --> 00:16:14,374 Speaker 1: the allegations, his lawyers arguing that prosecutors were using the 310 00:16:14,454 --> 00:16:17,454 Speaker 1: media and that leaking the footage was purely to savage 311 00:16:17,454 --> 00:16:20,734 Speaker 1: Combs's reputation and take the jury pool to deprive him 312 00:16:20,734 --> 00:16:23,774 Speaker 1: of a fair trial. The judge says Combs failed to 313 00:16:23,774 --> 00:16:26,614 Speaker 1: show that government agents leaked the video, pointing out that 314 00:16:26,694 --> 00:16:30,014 Speaker 1: many people beyond the victim and government agents had access 315 00:16:30,014 --> 00:16:33,214 Speaker 1: to the footage, including the hotel employees who were paid 316 00:16:33,254 --> 00:16:37,014 Speaker 1: off at the time to keep it quiet. The hip 317 00:16:37,054 --> 00:16:40,494 Speaker 1: hop mogul is currently in pre trial's attention, facing federal 318 00:16:40,534 --> 00:16:43,614 Speaker 1: racketeering and sex trafficking charges, to which he is pleaded 319 00:16:43,774 --> 00:16:47,214 Speaker 1: not guilty. He has reportedly dropped his appeal to be 320 00:16:47,254 --> 00:16:50,254 Speaker 1: released on bail, though, and will remain behind bars until 321 00:16:50,254 --> 00:16:52,574 Speaker 1: his trial date, which has been set for May five. 322 00:16:53,294 --> 00:16:56,494 Speaker 1: He'd been denied bail by three different judges. The latest 323 00:16:56,574 --> 00:16:58,934 Speaker 1: was on November twenty seven, where the judge said he 324 00:16:59,094 --> 00:17:02,654 Speaker 1: was concerned about witness tampering, saying there's evidence that Combs 325 00:17:02,694 --> 00:17:06,774 Speaker 1: contacted Cassie Ventura after she testified before a grand jury 326 00:17:06,774 --> 00:17:09,334 Speaker 1: in July, even though his lawyers said he would never 327 00:17:09,374 --> 00:17:13,294 Speaker 1: do that. If he's convicted, he could face life in prison. 328 00:17:13,694 --> 00:17:16,334 Speaker 1: He has now been given a laptop preloaded with all 329 00:17:16,334 --> 00:17:18,534 Speaker 1: the evidence against him so he can review it.
