Sean Combs: Capricorn Clark testifies.

Diddy's longtime employee took the stand with her version of a story previously relayed by Cassie Ventura and Kid Cudi. She says she was kidnapped from her home by a gun-toting Combs, who told her they were going to kill Kid Cudi, and she watched as Combs "gained access" to the pop star's house. Plus, she says, years before that she was subjected to five days of lie detector tests conducted by a man who said, "If you fail these tests, they're going to throw you in the East River." But the defense showed Clark proof she asked for Combs's forgiveness -- and another job. Combs's team denies all her allegations and disputes even use of the words "kidnapping" or "break in."

Energetic and entertaining daily update of this fascinating trial
Just episodes please!

Thirdbluemeadow

Considering the number of years you have been on the air, there should be a lot more shows available in podcast foreign, and honestly, make the talking dateline and the news updates separate-there are a lot of people who are not interested in all of the chatter, and just want the stories. Please return to your roots. Also, you're taking episodes that you aired when the podcast first started and repeating them, like recently with "11 Minutes". Really? Not the first time I've noticed it. So it's like not even airing a new episode. It's because you're spending so much time on all that other stuff that you can't give people new stories. You've ruined a good thing.

The damage that Dateline has caused to the Bryan Kolburger case is unforgivable. If evidence is “thrown out of this case” because of Dateline making the CONSCIOUS CHOICE to NOT HONOR the “Gag-order” that was placed on this case back in 2023, that is unforgivable. It does NOT matter “who” gave the information, it’s 100% DATELINE”s responsibility to honor the court order. The FACT that Dateline made the conscious choice to put that evidence information out to the WORLD prior to the trial, that is irresponsible reporting. If the evidence is thrown out, I truly hope that Dateline is held ACCOUNTABLE. Dateline owes the families a PUBLIC APOLOGY. If that evidence is thrown out, I hope the victims families and 2-surviving victims holds Dateline accountable FINANCIALLY.

Hate all the excess “talking dateline” episodes

@Kirstengraciela__

I LOVE Dateline! But the “Talking Dateline” episodes need to be moved to a separate show. Not very enjoyable

I have always loved Dateline but I’m very disappointed in the coverage of the Idaho 4. Innocent until proven guilty is still how this country works.
