The federal investigation into Sean “Diddy” Combs is expanding, with sources close to the case revealing that new potential witnesses, including a sex worker, are preparing to cooperate with prosecutors and possibly testify before a grand jury.
According to information obtained by TMZ, at least one person has already been subpoenaed to appear before the grand jury. Additionally, at least two more individuals are reportedly willing to cooperate with federal authorities in their ongoing investigation of the music mogul.
One of these potential witnesses is said to be a sex worker who claims involvement with Combs dating back to 2014. This individual is expected to be interviewed by federal investigators in New York City later this month.
These developments come as Combs, 54, remains in custody at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn following his arrest on Monday night. He faces charges including racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution.
Combs has been denied bail twice, with a judge recently reaffirming the decision to hold him without bail pending trial. His lawyer, Marc Agnifilo, is working to secure better accommodations for his client while preparing Combs’ defense.
The U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York has declined to comment on the ongoing investigation or the reports of new witnesses.
As the probe continues, federal prosecutors are actively gathering information and interviewing potential witnesses. The willingness of new individuals to testify, particularly those with alleged firsthand knowledge of Combs’ activities, could significantly impact the case against the hip-hop mogul.
This expanding investigation has sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry, raising questions about the extent of the alleged criminal activities and their potential impact on Combs’ vast business empire.
