Grand Jury in Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs Case Hears Testimony Amid Mounting Allegations

New witness testimony and evidence promise to shape the high-profile federal investigation

In a significant development in the ongoing criminal investigation into music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs, a federal grand jury has been convening regularly, with recent testimonies potentially reshaping the high-stakes case. Sources have revealed that on Thursday, jurors heard from a witness who claims to possess video evidence allegedly showing celebrities victimized by Combs. This witness, represented by attorney Ariel Mitchell, has been cooperating with the grand jury, providing what is described as “evidence about accusations of sexual abuse and other misconduct” involving Combs.

Mitchell, who also represents two female accusers of Combs, clarified that her client has no personal claims against the hip-hop icon but serves as a key witness holding potentially critical evidence. Although neither Mitchell nor the witness provided further details about the alleged contents, Mitchell noted they were fully complying with the court’s order to testify.

The investigation into Combs, who has pleaded not guilty to multiple federal charges of sex trafficking, racketeering, and transporting individuals to engage in prostitution, is one of the most publicized legal battles involving a major music industry figure in recent years. Prosecutors, led by US Attorney Damian Williams, have stressed that the investigation is “ongoing and active,” urging any potential victims to “come forward quickly.” Since his initial arrest in September, prosecutors have indicated the possibility of additional charges or defendants.

In a new public filing released Wednesday, the government outlined discovery materials that include video, audio, and text records from more than 60 devices and iCloud accounts linked to Combs. These materials reportedly include sensitive communications with witnesses and victims, as well as records tied to alleged events and financial transactions described by accusers. Such evidence could have a significant impact on the case, particularly in light of earlier accusations by Combs’ legal team that some of his accusers’ lawyers made “shockingly prejudicial and false allegations of sexual assault and abuse of minors.”

Despite Combs’ consistent denials, these latest disclosures bring further scrutiny to his career, marked by a recent three-charge indictment. Combs’ attorneys remain steadfast in their stance, previously stating, “Mr. Combs never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor.” His criminal trial is tentatively scheduled for May 2025, yet with new accusers and witnesses continually coming forward, the charges and scope of the trial could expand.

The proceedings have highlighted the grand jury’s key role in the investigation, with a source confirming, “The grand jury has never stopped.” As federal agents continue to meet with new witnesses, and as public interest in the case intensifies, this high-profile investigation underscores the complexities involved in prosecuting cases with prominent figures.

Sean “Diddy” Combs’ criminal trial is positioned to be one of the most closely watched cases of 2025. Amid the barrage of allegations, his legal team remains firm in their defense, while the grand jury’s ongoing investigation and recent testimonies suggest that this legal journey is far from over.
