Diddy Trial: The Feds Respond To Diddy's Motion To Strike The Testimony Of Dawn Hughes (Part 1) (6/2/25)

Beyond The Horizon

In this filing, the government strongly opposes Sean Combs’s motion to strike the expert testimony of Dr. Dawn Hughes, a clinical and forensic psychologist who previously took the stand. The government argues that the defense’s request is both untimely and baseless, noting it was filed three days after Dr. Hughes had already testified. The prosecution contends that Dr. Hughes's testimony was properly admitted after thorough litigation and judicial review, and that the court had already placed clear boundaries on what her expert analysis could include.
The government further asserts that Combs’s arguments lack legal merit and ignore prior court rulings that carefully delineated the scope of Dr. Hughes’s expert contributions. They describe the defense’s motion as an effort to relitigate settled matters without presenting new or compelling justification. As such, the government urges the court to reject the motion to strike and allow Dr. Hughes’s testimony to remain part of the trial record, emphasizing its relevance and the court’s prior validation of its admissibility.
