Diddy Federal Grand Jury Trial Looms as Justice Department Deepens Criminal Investigation
Federal investigators are preparing for a federal grand jury trial against Sean 'Diddy' Combs, with potential witnesses being notified to testify in New York City, according to CNN sources familiar with the investigation.
The Department of Justice's investigation has expanded beyond the initial sexual assault allegations, now encompassing money laundering, illegal drugs, and sex trafficking. This development follows the March raids on Combs' Los Angeles and Miami properties by Homeland Security Investigations (HSI).

Key developments in the investigation:
- Federal investigators are preparing to bring Combs' accusers before a grand jury
- Investigation scope includes sex trafficking, money laundering, and illegal drugs
- Law enforcement is analyzing video footage from Combs' searched residences
- Eight civil lawsuits filed since November, with seven alleging sexual assault
- Two lawsuits settled, including one with former girlfriend Cassie Ventura
Sources indicate investigators are meticulously building their case to ensure a "bulletproof" indictment. While HSI declined to comment on the grand jury's existence, they confirmed the investigation remains active.
Combs and his legal team continue to deny all accusations, though he issued an apology following the release of surveillance footage showing his 2016 assault on Cassie.
