Federal authorities charged music mogul Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs with sex trafficking, racketeering conspiracy and more in a disturbing indictment unsealed last week.
The salacious details of the charges go back for years, which makes any sane person wonder why anyone would ever associate with him.
Well, an elite group of top Democrats have been at Combs’ have been collaborating with him for years, even as details of his dangerous behavior were starting to bubble to the surface.
Vice President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, New York Mayor Eric Adams and former President Barack Obama have all been connected to the disgraced artist for Democratic causes for many years… even as recently as 2023.
Take Kamala Harris. In 2020, Harris thanked Combs in a viral X (formally Twitter) post for hosting a political town hall about COVID-19.
Thank you, @Diddy, for hosting this town hall last night. There's a lot at stake for our communities right now and it's critical we bring to the forefront how coronavirus is perpetuating racial inequality and health disparities.https://t.co/mPFYcIhsFD

“There’s a lot at stake for our communities right now and it’s critical we bring to the forefront how coronavirus is perpetuating racial inequality and health disparities,” Harris wrote at the time.
You can also rewind to 2004 when Combs played a crucial role in engaging young voters for Democrats at the 2004 Democratic National Convention, where he interviewed young delegates and Democrat lawmakers – including Obama and Clinton – for MTV.
Then in 2008, just days before the election, Combs made a last effort to court Black voters for Obama’s presidential campaign at a Democratic event – dubbed the “Last Chance For Change Rally” – in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Combs was also given the key to New York City in September 2023 by Adams.
However, Combs was forced to return it later at Adams’ request following the release of a 2016 video allegedly showing the rapper assaulting his ex-girlfriend, singer Cassie.
Adams informed Combs of the key’s rescission in a letter, and the key was returned to the city on June 10.
Fox News reached out to reps for Clinton, Obama, Adams, and Harris regarding their relationship with Combs, but with no return.
White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre’s addressed Combs during Tuesday’s press briefing, saying:
“Look, it’s an ongoing — ongoing situation, legal matter. I would have to refer you to the Department of Justice. Everything, kind of, is happening today. And so, I’m just — we just don’t comment on ongoing legal matter. I’m not going to do that from here. So, I’m going to leave it there.”
Combs pleaded not guilty after appearing in a Manhattan courtroom for his arraignment Tuesday. He was arrested Monday by federal agents based on a sealed indictment, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York confirmed.
The rapper was charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution in the indictment unsealed earlier Tuesday.
