Danity Kane's Aubrey O'Day shares whether she'll testify at P Diddy trial
Danity Kane alum Aubrey O'Day announced she will not be testifying at the high-profile trial of Sean 'Diddy' Combs. The disgraced rapper, 55, has been in court all week as he faces a number of charges, including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion and transportation to engage in prostitution.
The music mogul was arrested in September and strongly denies all allegations made against him. He has been in prison since his arrest, with a number of bail requests rejected. His former partner of 10 years, Cassie Ventura, has been on the stand most of the week. In a recent interview, Aubrey - who rose to fame under Diddy's guidance - discussed the trial.
Speaking to T.J. Holmes and Amy Robach in the premiere episode of a new podcast about the trial, the 41-year-old singer said she won't be testifying despite allegedly being contacted by Homeland Security.
She previously shared a social media post on May 14 which some thought was a hint at a possible appearance at the trial. Taking a snap in New York City, she captioned the post: "Hey New York!!! Where y'all think I should head first?"
There was speculation she was subpoenaed but she said on iHeart Radio's Amy Robach & T.J. Holmes Present: Aubrey O'Day, Covering the Diddy Trial: "No, I'm not here to testify for the Diddy trial, that I know of."
She claimed she was contacted by Homeland Security and "did have a meeting with them" regarding a testimony.
Aubrey said: "I posted on my Instagram that I was here in New York and enjoying myself because I wanted to make it clear to everyone that I am not here testifying."
She added: "I look at the beginning of 'Making the Band' and little Aubrey auditioning, and I'm like, 'I don't know how I became the sexy face one."
The star worked with Diddy in 2005 for his hit programme, Making The Band, which he was the executive producer of. She quickly became a fan favourite and became a member of Danity Kane, who were signed to Bad Boy Records.
Other members of the band included Dawn Richard and Shannon Bex. During Making The Band 4, Diddy revealed that Aubrey was soon kicked out of the group.
Further episodes of Aubrey O'Day, Covering The Diddy Trial, will be released as the trial continues.

Colorado's AG sues deputy, saying he illegally shared information with immigration agents
Colorado's Democratic attorney general on Tuesday sued a sheriff's deputy for allegedly helping federal immigration agents find and arrest a college student who had an expired visa. Attorney General Phil Weiser also disclosed that his office is investigating whether other law enforcement officers on a regional drug task force the deputy worked on have been sharing information to help federal agents make immigration arrests in violation of state law limiting cooperation in immigration enforcement. The federal government has sued Colorado over such laws. On June 5, Mesa County Deputy Alexander Zwinck allegedly shared the driver's license, vehicle registration and insurance information of the 19-year-old nursing student in a Signal chat used by task force members, according to the lawsuit. The task force includes officers who work for federal Homeland Security Investigations, which can enforce immigration laws, the lawsuit said. After federal immigration officers told him in the chat that the student did not have a criminal history but had an expired visa, Zwinck allegedly provided them with their location and told her to wait with him in his patrol car for about five minutes, asking about her accent and where she was born. He let her go with a warning and gave federal agents a description of her vehicle and told her which direction she was headed so they could arrest her, the lawsuit said. When Zwinck was told of the arrest, the lawsuit said he congratulated the federal agents, saying 'rgr, nice work.' The following day, one federal immigration agent praised Zwinck's work in the chat, saying he should be named 'interdictor of the year" for the removal division of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Zwinck is also accused of violating the law again on June 10 by providing immigration officers with the photo of the license of another driver who had overstayed his visa, information about the person's vehicle and directions to help them arrest the driver. After being told that immigration officers 'would want him', Zwinck replied that 'We better get some bitchin (sic) Christmas baskets from you guys', the lawsuit said. The Mesa County Sheriff's Office declined to comment on the lawsuit. Spokesperson Molly Casey said the office is about a week away from finishing its internal investigation into the student's traffic stop and plans to issue a statement after it is finished. A working telephone number could not be found for Zwinck, who was placed on paid leave during the sheriff's office's investigation. Casey declined to provide the name of an attorney who might be able to speak on his behalf. The sheriff's office previously announced that all its employees have been removed from the Signal group chat. Weiser said he was acting under a new state law that bars employees of local governments from sharing identifying information about people with federal immigration officials, a recent expansion of state laws limiting cooperation in immigration cases. Previously, the ban on sharing personal identifying information only applied to state agencies, but state lawmakers voted to expand that to local government agencies earlier this year. ' One of our goals in enforcing this law is to make clear that this law is not optional. This is a requirement and it's one that we take seriously,' he said. The law allows violators to be fined but Weiser's lawsuit only seeks a judge's order declaring that Zwinck's actions violated the law and barring him from such actions in the future.

Increasing drone incidents near US airports, stadiums prompt alarm, officials say
WASHINGTON, July 22 (Reuters) - U.S. officials told a Senate committee on Tuesday that there have been more than 3,000 drone events near American airports since 2021 including 11 aircraft this year that reported taking evasive action to avoid collisions. Those drone incidents have caused significant fly delays at times near major airports, said Steven Willoughby, a counter drone official with the Homeland Security Department, who told the Senate Judiciary Committee that in two instances drones collided with aircraft conducting critical response operations during emergencies in California and Texas this year. Officials also raised concerns about the intentional use of drones for attacks, and also at major sporting events. Willoughby noted that since 2018, the Secret Service has tracked hundreds of drones violating temporary flight restrictions that protect the president and others. He added that in the last six months of 2024, over 27,000 drones were detected within 500 meters of the U.S. southern border. Senators and administrative officials said Congress needs to change laws to toughen penalties for drone use and to give federal agencies new expanded authority to address malicious drones. Justice Department officials said at the hearing drones raise serious threats to mass gatherings but said the FBI can cover only a fraction. "FBI's covered events represent only 0.05% of the over 240,000 special events" over recent years where counter-drone protection could have been authorized.

New airport security upgrade could ease liquid restrictions — but there's a problem
Hopes are rising among air travellers that the long-standing restrictions on liquids in carry-on bags at US airports may soon be eased, a move that could alleviate the 'endless hassles' at security checkpoints. However, this optimism is tempered by a significant security concern: more than a third of all airports across the country have yet to upgrade their screening systems to reliably detect liquid explosives. While the inconvenience of discarding beverages and toiletries before security is a common frustration, the underlying challenge lies in differentiating innocuous items like hair gel from potentially lethal substances. This threat nearly materialised in 2006, when British authorities foiled a plot to detonate homemade chemical mixtures, disguised in sports drink bottles, aboard airliners. Security experts continue to express concern over the vulnerabilities exposed by that foiled attack. Recent remarks by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem ignited the prospect for passengers of one day being able to fly with more than 3 ounces of their shampoos and gels, and avoiding the need to dispose of recently purchased drinks. 'The liquids, I'm questioning. So that may be the next big announcement, is what size your liquids need to be,' Noem said. 'We have put in place in TSA a multilayered screening process that allows us to change some of how we do security and screening so it's still as safe.' A Transportation Security Administration spokesperson said Noem and the agency 'are constantly looking for ways to enhance security, and improve the travel experience for the public.' New liquids rules aren't ready Any changes will come through the same official channels that TSA used to announce this month that travelers can keep their shoes on at checkpoints. That change offers relief from a rule adopted after 'shoe bomber' Richard Reid's failed attempt to take down a flight from Paris to Miami in late 2001 with a small explosive device hidden in his footwear. The limits on liquids were triggered by the 2006 UK arrests. Three ringleaders were eventually convicted. A massive surveillance operation Prosecutors told the jury in that case that authorities uncovered the plot after secretly searching the luggage of a man who was on their radar for security concerns after he returned from Pakistan and found the unusual combination of the Tang powdered soft drink and a large number of batteries, according to the BBC. That triggered the surveillance operation that eventually grew to include more than 200 officers. Agents discovered what appeared to be a bomb factory in a London apartment where odd devices were being constructed out of drink bottles. The plot didn't make sense until authorities discovered that the men were researching flight timetables and realised they were only trying to make an explosive big enough to rip a hole in a plane. The meaning of coded emails to contacts in Pakistan only became clear after the arrests, when authorities realised that the quantities of Calvin Klein aftershave being discussed in messages matched the amount of hydrogen peroxide the conspirators had purchased. Longstanding liquid restrictions Ever since then, the TSA and authorities in other countries have limited carry-on liquids and gels to 3.4 ounces (100 milliliters) because officials believe that amount is too small to create an explosion capable of taking down a plane. The restriction covered all types of liquids, because X-ray machines at checkpoints couldn't differentiate between explosive and harmless ones. The United Kingdom was planning to ease its restrictions last year to allow people to carry up to 2 liters (about half a gallon) of liquid, but that was delayed because several major airports still didn't have the new scanners that use computed tomography, commonly known as a CT scan, to produce clearer images. Advanced new screening machines The new machines allow screeners to switch between two-dimensional and three-dimensional images and turn them to see what may be lurking, said Johnny Jones, secretary treasurer of the chapter of the American Federation of Government Employees that represents TSA workers. 'It's just a totally life-changing situation,' said Jones, who has worked as a screener since the agency was created. 'It's a difference of being able to see something that would have been hidden by something that you can now see clear as day with the new technology. It eliminates the guesswork.' Many airports still use the old tech The problem is that only 255 of the 432 airports across the United States have new CT scanners installed, the interim head of the TSA told Congress this spring. The biggest airports got them first, but they are not expected to be everywhere until 2043. It's possible that a change in carry-on liquid policy could be implemented just at the biggest airports, but that could lead to confusion if travelers, are, say, allowed to bring full bottles on departure only to have them confiscated when they return. The scanners cost more than $2 million apiece, and they are so much bigger than the old X-ray machines that sometimes floors must be reinforced and checkpoints have to be redesigned. 'I think you need to hold off till we get more systems deployed. I think this one's a little too early,' said Jeff Price, who teaches aviation security at Metropolitan State University of Denver and has co-authored books on the subject. 'The keep your shoes on — I can get on board with that provided we continue to do random screenings. But the liquids, I think we're too early on that. There's other layers of security. Yeah, I know that. But not too many of them that prevent this type of attack.' In the past the inspector general of the Department of Homeland Security has highlighted vulnerabilities in TSA screening that can allow things to slip through undetected. A 2015 report found that TSA officers failed 95 per cent of the time to detect weapons or explosive material carried by undercover inspectors. But Jones defended the work of the screeners he represents, noting that since the agency's creation, no plane has failed to reach its destination because of something that was missed. 'Nothing large has been able to make it through our system since we've taken over screening. We've protected the skies for 22 years,' Jones said. 'Even if you have a slight miss, it doesn't necessarily mean anything is going to happen on the plane.'
