Indictment unsealed.

Charges included Racketeering, Sex Trafficking, Fraud, etc.
storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
This case *may* prove to be as culturally significant as the Epstein/Maxwell cases. We'll see.
The opening paragraph pulls no punches. It accuses Combs of setting up and operating a huge, multi-faceted criminal enterprise that provided him victims, money, protected his reputation, concealed his behaviors, etc. Image
This indictment extends to and impacts Combs' many businesses, all of which are complicit in enabling and/or concealing Combs many alleged crimes.

This includes the labels Bad Boy, Combs Enterprises, Combs Global, his record labels, adult bev company, media assets, etc. Image
Combs displayed a "persistent and pervasive pattern of abuse toward women and other individuals."

Combs forced people into sex work, drugging them, threatening their finances, their careers, and using violence if need be in order to "ensure participation." Image
Incidents of abuse involving Combs date back decades, and it appears prosecutors have some witnesses to these 2009 and 2016 incidents. Image
Yeah, I think there will be more charges and more indictments soon. Image
The Combs Enterprise. Image
Purposes of the Combs Enterprise

-Operating a global business

-Enriching members and associates

-Preserving, protecting, promoting, and enhancing the power, reputation, and brand of Sean Combs AS AN ENTERTAINER

-Preserving, protecting, promoting, and enhancing the power, reputation, and brand of Sean Combs THROUGH VIOLENCE, COERCION, ETC.

-Providing Combs with abuse victims

-Enabling Combs and others to engage in various unlawful acts

-Securing loyalty

-Protecting Combs Enterprise from Law EnforcementImage
Image
Means and Methods

"Freak Offs" Image
"In or about March 2024, during searches of COMBS' residences in Miami, Florida and Los Angeles, California, law enforcement seized various Freak Off supplies, including narcotics and more than 1,000 bottles of baby oil and lubricant." Image
What a monster. Image
Firearms were seized as well. We might see more charges for those. Image
More details of Combs and associates using violence, threats, bribes, etc to protect their enterprise and keep the abuse going.
Image
Image
If the allegations are true, what a monster. What an absolute monster.

Obviously this is all very Epstein/Maxwell-like, but in the Hollywood/Music Industry context. This is going to be a HUGE case, maybe trial, and will have a massive cultural impact.
The Racketeering Conspiracy Image
Whoa, the indictment alleges multiple acts of:

Kidnapping, arson, bribery, witness tampering, forced labor, sex trafficking, transport of a prostitute, illegal sex acts, narcotics offenses, and ofc conspiracy to commit racketeering.

He didn't do all that alone.


Image
Image
Image
Image
All of the above was the intro and Count One-Racketeering.

Next is Count Two-Sex Trafficking by Force, Fraud, or Coercion (Victim-1)

Wonder how many victims will eventually be brought forward? Image
Count Three-Transport to Engage in Prostitution Image
Forfeiture.

I've seen recent reports that Combs and his empire of businesses and assets are valued somewhere north of $800mil. Fox reported in April of this year that he may be worth over $1bil. Image
Here is the docket for anyone who is interested in following the case.

Combs was taken into custody this morning and DOJ is seeking his detention.

🧵This VA Supreme Court Opinion is straight fire for ~30 pages. Image
"From Madison’s era to the present, political parties of every stripe have offered if-by-whiskey arguments supporting partisan gerrymandering." Image
"Virginians voted by a wide margin [in 2020] to reform the redistricting process in the Commonwealth in an effort to end partisan gerrymandering."

"Under the 2020 amendment, if this bipartisan commission could not reach a consensus, the responsibility to achieve the amendment’s ultimate goal — ridding political partisanship as much as possible from the redistricting task — would become the constitutional responsibility of the Supreme Court of Virginia."Image

Hmmm...

In addition to co-owning the Cannabis Outlet, VA State Sen. Louise Lucas also has ownership in these businesses:

The Lucas Lodge, Portsmouth Day Support Program, and Southside Direct Care.

Those catch my eye. They are healthcare and disability assistance businesses.

Lucas Lodge in particular has a history of serious incidents, including deaths, and the Virginia Department of Behavioral Health and Developmental Services website shows multiple Corrective Action Plans (CAP) across the past five years.

In her role as a state senator, Lucas serves on the Education and Health Committee, which oversees Behavioral Health and Developmental Services (DBHDS), as well as the Departments of Medical Assistance Services (DMAS) and Health (VDH).

I wonder if the FBI raid is in relation to either a) a fraud setup that is similar to what has been uncovered in Minnesota and/or b) an investigation by HHS-OIG or similar.

h/t: This author for much of this information.

The FBI raid is focused on at least two locations (the Cannabis Outlet and the Lucas's office), which are right next door to one another.

A LIVE feed from Fox is here

"At least 10 locations are being looked at today."

🧵"[DOJ] has demanded [via a federal grand jury subpoena] the identities of every worker who staffed the 2020 election in Fulton County, Ga., according to court records...

The demand targets employees of Fulton County elections as well as volunteer poll workers..."
1/n Image
"...workers, who likely numbered in the thousands during the 2020 election."

"It is not known what the Justice Department intends to do with the names of election workers."

I mean, my first guess would be interview them.
2/n Image
"The county received the grand jury subpoena for workers’ names on April 20, according to court records. The existence of the subpoena became public on Monday evening, when lawyers for Fulton County filed a motion attempting to block it."

United States v. Comey

Former FBI Director James B. Comey Jr. has been indicted on two counts in relation to his posting a picture on Instagram on May 15, 2025. The picture "depicted seashells arranged in a pattern making out '86 47,' which a reasonable recipient who is familiar with the circumstances would interpret as a serious expression of an intent to do harm to the President of the United States."

Count 1 - 18 USC 871(a) - Threats Against the President
Count 2 - 18 USC 875(c) - Transmitting a Threat in Interstate CommerceImage
The previous indictment against Comey, which was over alleged false statements to a Senate Cmte, lasted just 60 days between the filing of the indictment and the dismissal.

Difficult to imagine this one lasting that long.

🧵United States v. Morens

David M. Morens served as a senior advisor in NIAID’s Office of the Director from 2006-2022.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Morens, two conspirators, and others, conspired to have an NIH grant for bat coronavirus research reinstated after it had been cancelled by the NIH due to information pointing at the Wuhan Institute of Virology being the source of the COVID-19 outbreak.

To this end, Morens and others concealed information and misled officials, the scientific community, the media, and the public as to the true origins of the virus.

Count 1 - 18 USC 371 - Conspiracy Against the United States

Counts 2 & 3 - 18 USC 1519 - Destruction, Alteration, or Faslification of Records in a Federal Investigation

Counts 4 & 5 - 18 USC 2071 - Concealment, Removal, or Mutilation of Records

Morens is facing up to 46 years in prison if convicted.Image
Beginning in 2020 and continuing for years after, Morens and others used their personal GMail accounts to comunicate about the cancelled grant, getting another one, and controlling the narrative re: the origins of COVID-19.

They used the Gmail ccounts so as to avoid FOIA request.Image
Morens enlisted "members of a prominent professional medical organization" to "speak out on behalf of" the "bat coronavirus grant." Image

United States v. Allen

On April 25, 2026, at around 8:40pm, Cole Tomas Allen rushed a USSS security checkpoint in the D.C. Hilton, blowing past the magnetometer and firing a blast from his 12-gauge shotgun into the chest of a USSS officer.

Down the hall and one floor below was the White House Correspondents’ Association Dinner. In attendance were hundreds of media and many members of the Trump Administration, including cabinet members, the VP, and President Trump.

But Allen, thankfully, never made it to that room.

Just seconds after discharging his shotgun and only a dozen or so steps past the agent he had shot, Allen fell to the ground, was tackled by USSS agents, disarmed, and arrested.

Today, Allen was charged by complaint with the following:

18 U.S.C. § 1751(c) - Attempt to Assassinate the President of the United States

18 U.S.C. § 924(b) - Transportation of a Firearm & Ammunition in Interstate Commerce with Intent to Commit a Felony

18 U.S.C. § 924(c)(1)(A)(iii) - Discharge of a Firearm during a Crime of ViolenceImage
Allen also had 1911 .38 caliber pistol on him.

Agents fired several shots at him, but he was not shot. The complaint doesn't describe how Allen fell, but...ya know, Naruto-style running only works in cartoons.

I think Allen may have simply tripped. Image
Allen made his reservations at the hotel on April 6 and traveled by train from LA to Chicago to D.C. beginning on April 21.

He arrived on April 24 and checked into the Hilton. Image
