    NEW YORK — A security officer testified Tuesday that Sean Combs paid him $100,000 in a brown paper bag for surveillance footage that captured the mogul beating his longtime girlfriend Casandra Ventura at a Los Angeles hotel in 2016. The security officer, Eddy Garcia, is testifying under an immunity order after telling the government that he intended to assert his Fifth Amendment right not to incriminate himself.

    The music mogul has been accused of using a brown bag filled with $100,000 cash to buy hotel security video of him beating up Casandra Ventura. It has been a year since 2016 footage of Sean Combs brutally assaulting his longtime girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, in a Los Angeles hotel was broadcast on CNN. Now those images, which became a potent demonstration of the music mogul's violence, are a centerpiece of his federal trial.

    The former assistant will be questioned by Mr. Combs's lawyers, who say her account of sex abuse and violence is at odds with the warmth she showed him on social media. The federal trial of Sean Combs is entering its fourth week, the midpoint of what is expected to be an eight-week trial, with prosecutors still filling out the particulars of a case that charges the music mogul with sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy.

    Testifying under a pseudonym, the mogul's former assistant is expected to describe allegations of sexual assault that prosecutors say amounted to forced labor. Mr. Combs denies coercing anyone into sex. A former personal assistant of Sean Combs who, prosecutors say, was sexually assaulted by her boss, is set to take the stand on Thursday at the music mogul's sex trafficking and racketeering trial.
