Sean 'Diddy' Combs trial starts Monday
The trial of Sean “Diddy” Combs is set to begin in a New York courtroom. The Monday trial comes eight months after his arrest on charges of sex trafficking and racketeering. Prosecutors say that once jury selection is complete, they'll deliver a mountain of evidence over several weeks. They say they'll show that the man who built a hip-hop empire was also a criminal. An indictment alleges that for two decades Combs used his employees and fame and fortune to abuse numerous women and others. His lawyers contend that no crimes occurred because any sexual activity occurred between consenting adults.
Australia's Prime Minister reelected to second 3-year term
Anthony Albanese has claimed victory as the first Australian prime minister to win a second consecutive term in 21 years. He credits the victory for *not modeling itself on U.S. President Donald Trump’s administration. Albanese told his supporters in a victory speech in Sydney: “Australians have chosen to face global challenges the Australian way, looking after each other while building for the future.” His center-left Labor Party had branded Albanese’s rival Peter Dutton, the opposition leader, “DOGE-y Dutton” and accused his party of mimicking Trump and his Department of Government Efficiency.
