Attorneys for Sean "Diddy" Combs are pushing back against abuse claims leveled against the hip-hop mogul amid his criminal trial.

The second week of Sean Combs' sex trafficking and racketeering trial featured a dozen witnesses who described the music mogul's physical attacks on others or who provided testimony addressing the government's charges.

Testimony Wednesday in the sex-trafficking and racketeering trial of Sean "Diddy" Combs was marked by a surprise motion for a mistrial from Combs' defense team. The play, prompted by a reference to destroyed evidence in an arson investigation, was quickly turned back by the judge, who has kept a tight grip on the headline-grabbing trial.

R. Kelly's name appeared in a text message shown to jurors from Sean "Diddy" Combs' ex-assistant Mia, who says the music mogul assaulted her.
