Diddy and his attorney are firing back at the government for the recent home raids by homeland security in his sex trafficking investigation.

Combs’ lawyer said that the searches of the rapper’s Los Angeles and Miami properties by federal authorities were “a gross use of military-level force” and that Combs is “innocent and will continue to fight” to clear his name.

Diddy’s attorney Aaron Dyer said that the Department of Homeland Security’s actions were an “unprecedented ambush” and even went as far as calling it a “witch hunt.” On behalf of Diddy, Dyer released a statement,

“Yesterday, there was a gross overuse of military-level force as search warrants were executed at Mr. Combs’ residences.

There is no excuse for the excessive show of force and hostility exhibited by authorities or the way his children and employees were treated. Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities. Despite media speculation, neither Mr. Combs nor any of his family members have been arrested nor has their ability to travel been restricted in any way. This unprecedented ambush — paired with an advanced, coordinated media presence — leads to a premature rush to judgment of Mr. Combs and is nothing more than a witch hunt based on meritless accusations made in civil lawsuits. There has been no finding of criminal or civil liability with any of these allegations. Mr. Combs is innocent and will continue to fight every single day to clear his name.”

HSI agents flooded Diddy’s mansion in the Los Angeles neighborhood of Holmby Hills and gathered evidence as part of the investigation. Combs’ sons, Justin and Christian “King” Combs, were handcuffed during the raid at their father’s residence in Los Angeles.

Four women have filed civil lawsuits against Combs accusing him of rape, sex trafficking and other alleged abuses. He has denied all allegations of sexual misconduct.
