Amidst an ongoing investigation into sex trafficking allegations, Sean "Diddy" Combs' homes in Los Angeles and Florida were raided by Homeland Security officials. His Holmby Hills mansion, which was the subject of the raid, has been listed for sale at $61.5 million, according to property records.
Sean "Diddy" Combs' sprawling Holmby Hills mansion, which was raided by Homeland Security officials as part of an ongoing sex trafficking investigation, has been listed for sale at a whopping $61.5 million, according to property records. The former FBI Assistant Director, Chris Swecker, joined 'America Reports' to provide his insights on the matter.
Purchased by Combs in 2014 for $39 million, the massive property occupies a coveted spot in the billionaire's row neighborhood of Los Angeles. However, sources close to Combs have asserted that the sale of the 10-bedroom, 13-bath estate is unrelated to any civil litigation or investigation.

"Diddy established his primary residence in Miami years ago and always planned to sell his LA home once his daughters grew up and moved out," a source told Fox News Digital. "He’s an empty nester and spends most of his time in Florida. It has nothing to do with any civil litigation or investigation."
Situated behind private gates, the 1.3-acre lot features lush landscaping, mature trees, formal gardens, and a resort-like swimming pool with a waterfall and grotto, as detailed in the listing. The traditional home boasts a gourmet kitchen, a wine cellar, a separate catering kitchen, and a state-of-the-art theater that can accommodate up to 35 people.

On the second level, the primary suite offers dual baths and large closets, while a gallery hallway leads to guest rooms and family suites. A spacious, two-story guest house houses a gym and a recording studio.
On March 25, Homeland Security (HSI) officials raided the 17,000-square-foot home, along with another property on Star Island in Florida, as part of an ongoing investigation. Home surveillance video captured Combs' two sons being detained by officers dressed in tactical gear.

HSI confirmed the raids in a statement, saying, "Earlier today, Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) New York executed law enforcement actions as part of an ongoing investigation, with assistance from HSI Los Angeles, HSI Miami, and our local law enforcement partners. We will provide further information as it becomes available."
One day after the raids, Combs proclaimed his innocence and denounced the "meritless accusations" against him in a statement released through his attorney, Aaron Dyer.

"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," Dyer asserted. "Mr. Combs was never detained but spoke to and cooperated with authorities."
Dyer emphasized, "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," he added.
Combs' representatives and the listing agent, Kurt Rappaport, have not yet commented on the situation.
