Dramatic home surveillance video from one of Sean “Diddy” Combs’ mansions shows federal investigators in tactical gear rushing into the luxe manor and escorting his sons out as they served one of two search warrants on the mogul’s properties last week.
Misa Hylton, Combs’ ex and the mother of two of his children, shared an edited video showing a portion of the raid on her Instagram Tuesday and revealed her sons had retained the high-powered lawyer Jeffrey Lichtman, who previously represented figures who included cartel lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman and John Gotti Jr.
“Did Justin need several laser beams from firearms pointed at his chest?? Did Christian need a gun pointed at the back of his head while he was handcuffed??” she wrote.
The raid came as part of a federal sex-trafficking probe into Combs, who has denied similar allegations in a series of recent lawsuits.
Lichtman did not immediately return calls or emails seeking comment.
But he “liked” Hylton’s post of the video and in a post of his own, he confirmed that he would be representing at least one of Combs’ sons and called the search warrants “over the top.” At time of publication, it had been viewed almost 600,000 times.
“The government rarely fights fair when they have a major target in its sights, and they certainly haven’t played fair in Diddy’s case thus far,” he wrote.
Combs’ ex-girlfriend, Casandra Ventura, better known as the R&B singer Cassie, sued him in November, alleging rape and other abuse.
They settled a day later without the billionaire Combs admitting wrongdoing.
However, since then, at least four other accusers filed lawsuits against the billionaire, including three women and a male music producer, Lil Rod, whose real name is Rodney Jones.
Despite the federal investigation, Combs has not been charged with a crime and denied all accusations of wrongdoing.
He has characterized the accusations as an attempt at collecting cash.
“Lil Rod (Rodney Jones) is nothing more than a liar who filed a $30 million lawsuit shamelessly looking for an undeserved payday,” Combs’ lawyer, Shawn Holley, previously told Fox News Digital. “His reckless name-dropping about events that are pure fiction and simply did not happen is nothing more than a transparent attempt to garner headlines.”
Homeland Security investigations did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
