A former personal assistant to Sean “Diddy” Combs gave a glimpse into the hip-hop promoter’s world when he worked for him nearly two decades ago, telling Combs’ sex trafficking trial about his former boss’s use of guns, lie detector tests and drugs.

David James’ evidence came in the second week of a trial in Manhattan federal court that is scheduled to last up to two months.
