A federal agent who raided Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Miami Beach mansion is back the stand Wednesday on in the disgraced rap mogul’s federal sex-trafficking trial in Manhattan.
The jury saw pics of AR-15 rifle parts, bottles of baby oil and lube, 7-inch high heels and more, as the agent reveals details of the dramatic 2024 raid.
Combs, 55, is accused of using his fame, fortune and many businesses to run a racketeering scheme in which he controlled Cassie using violence and threats, forcing her and others into drug-fueled “freak-off” sex marathons.
He faces life in prison if convicted.
The trial is not televised because cameras are prohibited inside the federal courthouse, but we’re there following all the action — so watch this space for the latest updates.

Forensic psychologist testifies about why people stay in abusive relationships
By Jack Morphet, Kyle Schnitzer and Priscilla DeGregory
Forensic psychologist Dawn Hughes is testifying as a "blind witness," meaning she hasn't interviewed Sean "Diddy" Combs, any witnesses at his trial or any of his alleged victims.
Hughes has been called by prosecutors to speak about why people stay in abusive relationships.
She said the main reasons people stay in abusive relationships is that the abuse makes them feel trapped, because there is often love involved and because the cycle of abuse makes planning a way out hard.

Jury members also saw more images of bottles of Astroglide personal lubricant and of baby oil, women's black and red stiletto heels, and a lacy negligee.
They were previously shown photos of bottles of lube from the raid on the hotel where Combs stayed in New York City to negotiate his surrender in September.
The images were shown to the jury as Special Agent Gerard Gannon was on the witness stand testifying about when he and 80 to 90 agents searched the "I'll Be Missing You" rapper's Florida home. His Los Angeles home was also raided that same day.
Prosecutors claim Combs, 55, ran a criminal enterprise for over 10 years with his employees' help, including forcing heavily drugged-up women to have sex with escorts while he recorded it and pleasured himself. He's pleaded not guilty.
