Gavin Newsom's ripping a page out of President Trump's own playbook ... suggesting Trump's elderly brain might be slipping, and says that might be why he couldn't remember details of their phone call.

The Cali Governor takes the shot at Trump in the defamation lawsuit he filed against Fox News. He comments on Trump suggesting he'd spoken to Newsom on June 9 -- when in fact the call happened on June 7 -- saying, "It is impossible to know for certain whether President Trump's distortion was intentionally deceptive or merely a result of his poor cognitive state."

Some MAGA supporters might read that as a cheap shot, but it's one Trump's made a habit of hurling at his predecessor, President Joe Biden ... or as 47 calls him, "Sleepy Joe."

Diddy's defense is making their closing argument in his criminal trial and they are owning the domestic violence testimony ... but they say there's no way he's guilty of racketeering and sex trafficking.

Marc Agnifilo, Diddy's co-lead counsel, is handling the defense's closing argument Friday and he told jurors Diddy owns the domestic violence stories Cassie and "Jane" told on the stand ... but Agnifilo was quick to point out there are no domestic violence charges here.

Diddy's attorney says the Bad Boy founder would have pled guilty if he was charged with DV but it's a state crime and this is a federal case ... and Agnifilo scoffed at the federal charges his client is facing, saying there's no way Diddy is guilty of RICO or sex trafficking his ex girlfriends.

A fourth suspect connected to the foiled bombing of Taylor Swift's Vienna shows last year has been indicted in Germany ... according to reports.

The Associated Press -- citing documents filed in a Berlin court -- reports an individual identified only as Mohammad A. was indicted earlier this month for allegedly helping translate bomb-making instructions in the plot to blow up Ernst Happel Stadium in Austria. He also allegedly set up online contact with members of the Islamic State.

Mohammad A. -- BBC News reports German authorities describe him as a juvenile -- also stands accused of supporting a foreign terrorist organization and preparing a serious act of violence. He is reportedly not in custody. It's unclear why he's been indicted in Germany -- the bombing plot was supposed to go down in neighboring Austria.

Diddy's daughters, who've avoided appearing in court for most of his federal trial, are right behind him for closing arguments, and the emotion of the day is showing on their faces.

His twins, Jessie and D'Lila, along with Chance, all held hands as they walked out of the federal courthouse in Manhattan. Their brothers -- Justin, King and Quincy -- also strolled to a waiting SUV ... along with Diddy's mother, Janice.

The family's united front comes on the heels of prosecutors delivering closing arguments to the jury ... laying out why they should convict Diddy on all counts, including sex trafficking and racketeering.

Bryan Kohberger's defense has to go back to the drawing board ... after the judge in his criminal case denied his legal team's efforts to point the finger at four other suspects.

Kohberger is gearing up for a trial this summer after being accused of murdering four University of Idaho students ... and he was planning to argue someone else was the real murderer.

But in legal docs, obtained by TMZ, the judge blocked Kohberger's defense team from presenting evidence to the jury alleging someone other than Kohberger could be the true killer, blasting their evidence as "wild speculation" and "entirely irrelevant."

Donald Trump may have opened Pandora's box with his pardon of Todd and Julie Chrisley ... 'cause now yet another reality star is coming out of the woodwork begging the prez for a favor.

Joe Giudice took to Instagram Thursday to straight-up beg President Trump for a pardon so he can return to the U.S. to visit his kids -- more than a decade after he was deported.

Giudice writes, "I was raised in Jersey, I’m a father of four amazing daughters, and I just want to be allowed to visit them again. President Trump, I respect you and I’m asking for a second chance."

Diddy is being sued by a man who claims Diddy sodomized him at a house party after telling him, "You're about to get that Diddy love."

The Bad Boy Records founder is being sued by a man named Brandon Adams, who claims he was invited to a party Diddy was hosting in 2021 ... only to show up and be sexually assaulted.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, Adams claims he got the invite from a chauffeur he met at an L.A. gas station, and when he showed up, he says he was told to keep his phone in the car. Inside the bash, he claims he saw celebs -- but didn't interact with them -- and had some alcoholic drinks that made him feel dizzy.

Diddy's son Justin Combs lured a woman to Los Angeles with promises of getting her a job in entertainment, but when she arrived in L.A. she was kept in a house for days and ended up being raped by multiple men, including Diddy ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

In the lawsuit, obtained by TMZ, the woman claims Justin initially contacted her through Snapchat in 2017 and they messaged back and forth, with the woman eventually sending Justin risqué photos at his request. She says after she sent the snaps, Justin offered to fly her to L.A. for a weekend.

The woman says she was interested in working in entertainment and told Justin as much in their conversations ... and she claims Justin told her a trip to L.A. would help her potential career, telling her if she came, he would get her a job using his and his famous father's connections.

Prosecutors in Diddy's criminal trial are telling jurors the Mann Act charges against Diddy are a slam dunk ... the feds say it's painfully obvious Diddy is guilty of interstate transportation for prostitution.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik is taking the reins on the government's closing argument and she told jurors Thursday the prostitution counts are super simple.

Slavik told jurors the charge does not require force, fraud, coercion, or even consent to find Diddy guilty ... she says Diddy committed a crime if the jury finds he transported people across state lines for the purpose of having sex at freak-offs.

Scott Wolf's request for a restraining order has been granted ... and, for the time being, his estranged wife Kelley isn't supposed to go anywhere near their kids.

The "Party of Five" star was granted the restraining order in Utah Wednesday afternoon ... with the judge noting in his decision Kelley has "engaged in an escalating pattern of behavior that poses a substantial threat or immediate and irreparable harm" to the couple's kids.

The judge awarded temporary sole physical and temporary sole legal custody of their three children ... and, until further notice, Kelley "shall not have any parent-time or contact" with Scott or the kids.

Prosecutors in Diddy's criminal trial are telling jurors how they can find him guilty of sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion ... the feds say one strike and Diddy's out.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik is handling the government's closing argument ... and on Thursday, she told jurors if there's a single freak-off jurors find was the result of force, threats of force, fraud, or coercion by Diddy ... then they should find him guilty of sex trafficking.

Slavik told the jury the feds aren't arguing all of the freak-offs Diddy had over the years with ex-girlfriends Cassie Ventura and "Jane" were examples of sex trafficking ... but she says if jurors find one instance of force, fraud or coercion, Diddy's cooked.

Diddy’s ex-girlfriend Daphne Joy is living in a whole different reality -- while he faces the heat in his federal criminal trial, she’s out pumping gas in her luxury whip.

Daphne was serving gas-station glam Wednesday in L.A. -- rocking a perilously low-cut black top that flashed her lace bra, paired with skintight bootcut jeans that put her curves on full display.

The model was lookin' fire -- full glam makeup, flawless flowing locks catching the breeze, all while casually handling business at the pump like a total queen.

Daphne's not only physically thousands of miles away from Diddy's legal drama ... she seems mentally detached from it, because she looked like she was in great spirits.

Federal prosecutors are presenting their closing argument in the Diddy criminal trial ... and they're telling the jury it won't take much to find Diddy guilty of racketeering conspiracy.

Assistant U.S. Attorney Christy Slavik told jurors in court Thursday … to convict on the RICO charge, they only need to find Diddy agreed he or another member of his organization would commit at least two criminal acts under that charge.

Those acts, prosecutors say, include drug distribution, kidnapping, arson, bribery, and sex trafficking of Cassie Ventura and "Jane."

Liver King's not going to hold domain over all of Austin, Texas for the foreseeable future ... 'cause if he sees Joe Rogan coming, he's gotta head the other way.

According to Liver King's release conditions, the social media influencer must stay at least 200 yards away from Rogan and his family members ... and, there's a no-contact order as well -- so, no hitting him up over the phone or social media either.

Liver King can't possess any weapons ... and, within a week of his release, he needs to go in for a mental health evaluation.

A member of the "Grandpa Robbers" gang, who was just convicted in the multimillion-dollar heist of Kim Kardashian's jewels in Paris, has reportedly died.

Didier Dubreucq's reported death comes as he'd been battling lung cancer -- and just a month after he was sentenced to 7 years in prison -- with 5 suspended -- in connection with the 2016 case.

The convicted criminal was hospitalized during the armed robbery trial as he received treatment for his cancer. He was not in court as his guilty verdict was announced on May 23.

The Seattle man accused of being involved in the bombing of a fertility clinic in Palm Springs last month was found dead in the Los Angeles federal prison Tuesday ... and now we have a better idea how he died.

Federal sources tell TMZ ... Daniel Park -- who was being housed in the Metropolitan Detention Center downtown -- stepped up on a table on an upper tier of the facility and jumped ... plummeting to the ground floor.

Prison staff attempted life-saving measures ... but authorities said the 32-year-old was declared dead at the hospital later that day. It's unclear how many stories he fell.
