Musician Sean “Diddy” Combs is the subject of a federal investigation amid a wave of lawsuits filed against the rap mogul since November, a source familiar with the matter told NBC News. Three women and a man have been interviewed by federal officials in Manhattan and three other interviews are scheduled in relation to allegations of sex trafficking, sexual assault, and the solicitation and distribution of illegal narcotics and firearms, the source said.
Douglas Wigdor, who represents Ventura and a Jane Doe who filed suit, said this was hopefully the beginning of a process that “will hold Mr Combs responsible for his depraved conduct”. “We will always support law enforcement when it seeks to prosecute those that have violated the law,” Wigdor said. Combs has denied each of the sexual assault allegations, calling them “sickening”.
