The defense submitted a letter to Judge Subramanian in response to a government filing made early that morning regarding the anticipated testimony of Ms. Bongolan. The defense argues that the government is making a last-ditch effort to admit evidence that is both inadmissible and irrelevant hearsay. They assert that this attempt amounts to a "second bite at the apple," seeking to reintroduce material that should not be allowed under the rules of evidence.

Additionally, the defense contends that the government's letter is not only legally baseless but also misleading in its presentation of both the facts and applicable law. They accuse the prosecution of mischaracterizing the situation in an effort to sway the court, and they urge Judge Subramanian to reject the government's latest arguments and prevent the introduction of the contested testimony.


The defense submitted a second letter to Judge Subramanian responding to the government’s objections regarding certain exhibits the defense plans to introduce during the cross-examination of government witness Bryana ("Bana") Bongolan. The defense also used the letter to object to two exhibits they understand the government intends to introduce through this same witness. They argue that their proposed exhibits and topics of cross-examination are relevant and permissible.

Specifically, the defense seeks to introduce a series of photographs intended to counter the government’s narrative that Sean Combs controlled or inhibited Cassie Ventura’s professional career. According to the defense, these photographs serve as physical evidence showing that Ventura actively worked on her music and pursued various business activities independently of Combs, including projects she undertook while collaborating with Ms. Bongolan.
