Quick Glance: Firearms Discovered at Sean 'Diddy' Combs' L.A. and Miami Properties, Sources Say
- During searches of Sean 'Diddy' Combs' properties in Los Angeles and Miami, federal agents found firearms, as confirmed by three informed sources on Tuesday. Homeland Security Investigations executed search warrants from the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York on Monday and confiscated the music mogul's phones in Miami before his planned trip to the Bahamas. According to a source familiar with the matter, Combs is under a federal criminal investigation due to multiple lawsuits filed against him in recent months.
- Reportedly, Combs has been involved in numerous civil lawsuits since November, following a lawsuit from his former romantic partner Cassie, who accused him of physical and sexual abuse over several years. Combs has denied each of the sexual assault allegations, calling them 'sickening.' In February, a former employee who worked for Combs from September 2022 to November 2023 filed a lawsuit alleging sexual harassment, drugging, and threats.
- The cases are ongoing, and Combs has maintained his denial of the allegations. A man arrested on drug charges at a Miami airport on Monday is said to be an associate of Combs. Brendan Paul, 25, was arrested at the Miami-Opa Locka Executive Airport on suspicion of possessing suspected cocaine and suspected marijuana candy. Court records indicated that Paul was released on bond on Tuesday.

nytimes.com/2024/03/20/us/california-prop-1-homelessness.html
Quick Glance: California Voters Approve Measure to Combat Homelessness
- California voters have approved measures that mandate counties to allocate funds for housing and drug rehabilitation programs to address the homelessness crisis.

- The measure gives the state more control over a voter-approved tax enacted in 2004 for mental health services and obligates counties to spend about two-thirds of the funds on housing and programs for homeless individuals with severe mental illnesses or substance abuse issues.
- Opponents argued that the change jeopardizes programs not solely focused on housing or drug rehabilitation, but on preventing individuals from becoming homeless in the first place.
