A prosecutor on Thursday described Sean Combs, the famed music producer and mogul, as the leader of a criminal enterprise who “doesn’t take no for an answer,” as the government’s closing argument began in Mr. Combs’s sex-trafficking and racketeering conspiracy trial. “The defendant used power, violence and fear to get what he wanted,” the prosecutor, Christy Slavik, told jurors at the start of her summation, which is expected to last four hours.
