NEW YORK (AP) — Prosecutors at Sean “Diddy” Combs ' upcoming federal sex trafficking trial can show jurors video of the hip-hop mogul hitting and kicking one of his accusers in a Los Angeles hotel hallway, a judge ruled at a hearing Friday.

A federal prosecutor also disclosed at a hearing Friday that the government had offered Combs a plea deal, which he rejected.

Combs’ lawyers previewed a possible defense strategy, characterizing the hitmaker as a “swinger” rather than the abusive ringleader of a criminal sex trafficking conspiracy.
