Sean Combs is the subject of a federal criminal investigation
SUMMARY
Sean "Diddy" Combs is now the subject of a federal criminal investigation, according to NBC News. His legal team was notified last week by federal authorities in the Southern District of New York. A federal grand jury is hearing evidence, but no charges are imminent. The U.S. Attorney’s Office declined to comment, and Combs' lawyers did not respond to requests for comment. Combs has not received a target letter, indicating prosecutors do not yet intend to seek an indictment. This development follows raids on his homes and his recent public apology for a 2016 assault on ex-girlfriend Cassandra "Cassie" Ventura. Combs faces multiple civil lawsuits, including new sex trafficking allegations, all of which he denies.
