The attacks on Diddyhis homes are just the beginning — the feds are issuing subpoenas to companies that do business with him, with the goal of identifying anyone with information pertinent to the sex trafficking investigation… TMZ has learned.
Sources with direct knowledge tell TMZ that the subpoenas — all under Diddy’s real name, Sean Combs — were sent this week to several vendors linked to the rapper, including his private jet, phone carriers and computer companies.
We’re told the subpoenas have been sent by the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York… who, as we’ve reported, is conducting the investigation.
Our sources say subpoenas will also be issued to commercial airlines, and possibly the FAA, if Diddy opts for commercial flights instead of his private jet.
As we reported, the feds’ objective here is finding out who flew at Diddy’s expense and where they went. They not only look for alleged victims, but also any potential witnesses who may support or dispute allegations of human/sex trafficking.

It will be particularly intriguing to see if the people who sued Diddy were on those planes.
What’s more… we’re told the subpoenas will allow the feds to gather more information about the nature of Diddy’s involvement with these various businesses.

Needless to say, this is a crucial aspect of the federal investigation, which began with raids on Diddy’s homes in Los Angeles and Miami Monday.
We’re told the feds have already interviewed several people linked to the lawsuits filed against Diddy.
It will take time for authorities to determine whether they have enough evidence to bring charges due to the expansive nature of the investigation.
For now, Diddy denies any wrongdoing and there are no restrictions on his travels.
