Following federal raids on Diddy's Miami and Los Angeles homes, attorney Aaron Dyer has issued a statement defending Sean Combs amid an ongoing sex trafficking investigation.

The raids, which involved Homeland Security, resulted in the seizure of phones and computers belonging to the 54-year-old rapper. Five individuals have been interviewed in New York as part of a sex trafficking and RICO criminal investigation.

Attorney Dyer's statement condemned what he called a "gross overuse of military-level force" during the raids, stating that while Combs cooperated with authorities, he was neither detained nor restricted from travel.

Key points from the attorney's statement:

  • Combs fully cooperated with authorities
  • No arrests were made of Combs or family members
  • No travel restrictions have been imposed
  • The raids are characterized as an "unprecedented ambush"
  • There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability

In a related development, Brendan Paul was arrested on drug charges while attempting to board Diddy's private jet. Paul was previously named in a civil suit by a former Diddy producer, where he was described as a "mule" for drugs and firearms.
