FEC Announces Investigation of Hip-Hop Mogul Combs

HeadlineNov 17, 2005

The Federal Election Commision will investigate a conservative organization’s complaint against hip-hop mogul Sean Combs, also known as Diddy. The National Legal Policy Center alleges Combs violated federal electoral and revenue laws by using a voter registration drive to promote the election of John Kerry in last year’s Presidential elections. Combs helped found the group “Citizen Change”, which held a widely-publicized campaign to enlist young voters. The group cited instances where speakers made anti-Bush comments at Citizen Change events.
