What Authorities Found In Raids At Sean “Diddy” Combs’ Home

After fed­er­al agents raid­ed the rap­per’s mul­ti-mil­lion dol­lar homes in Miami and Los Angeles on March 25, sources with knowl­edge told NBC News on March 26 that firearms were found at both prop­er­ties. Additionally, Homeland Security Investigations seized Combs’ phones in Miami before he was sched­uled to depart for a trip to the Bahamas.
While the inves­ti­ga­tion is ongo­ing, a source close to the inves­ti­ga­tion told NBC News that the raid was con­nect­ed to alle­ga­tions of sex traf­fick­ing and sex­u­al assault and the solic­i­ta­tion and dis­tri­b­u­tion of ille­gal nar­cotics and firearms. 
Three women and one man had been inter­viewed by fed­er­al offi­cials in Manhattan in rela­tion to the inves­ti­ga­tion, the source shared.
In a March 25 state­ment to E! News, a rep for Homeland Security Investigations said they had “exe­cut­ed law enforce­ment actions as part of an ongo­ing inves­ti­ga­tion” and would “pro­vide fur­ther infor­ma­tion as it becomes available.”
One day after the raids, Combs addressed the sit­u­a­tion through his attor­ney, Aaron Dyer.

Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of mil­i­tary-lev­el force as search war­rants were exe­cut­ed at Mr. Combs’ res­i­dences,” Dyer said in a state­ment to E! News March 26. “There is no excuse for the exces­sive show of force and hos­til­i­ty exhib­it­ed by author­i­ties or the way his chil­dren and employ­ees were treat­ed.” He not­ed that it was an “unprece­dent­ed ambush” and that the rap­per was not detained. He also called the raids “a witch hunt,” adding that Combs had “spoke to and coop­er­at­ed with author­i­ties.” “There has been no find­ing of crim­i­nal or civ­il lia­bil­i­ty with any of these alle­ga­tions,” Dyer con­tin­ued. “Mr. Combs is inno­cent and will con­tin­ue to fight every sin­gle day to clear his name.”
E! News has reached out to the Department of Homeland Security for com­ment on Combs’ alle­ga­tions and has not heard back.
