Cassie Cooperating with Diddy Investigation?

Last year Bad Boy CEO Sean "Diddy" Combs' settled the $30 million lawsuit filed against him by his former longtime girlfriend, Cassie Ventura, just one day after she filed and horrific incidents of abuse from the suit began flooding the Internet [click here if you missed that].

Now insiders are claiming Cassie is cooperating with the investigation that prompted the Homeland Security raid on Diddy's homes in L.A. and Miami two weeks ago [click here if you missed that]...

From TMZ

Sources with direct knowledge tell us ... Cassie is among the witnesses the feds have been in contact with in connection with the Diddy investigation ... we're told she's been working with investigators for several weeks ... presumably even before Diddy's homes were raided.

Given the timing, it seems Cassie may have helped the feds establish probable cause to get a judge to sign off on the search warrants. Other women, we're told, have also been in contact with federal investigators.

Unclear at this point which of the other women have also been cooperating with the feds. We also don't know if Diddy's ex-employee, Rodney Jones, has been interviewed at this point.
