Donald Trump Jr. reveals bizarre new conspiracy theory about why Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs was arrested

Donald Trump Jr has peddled a baseless conspiracy theory suggesting that Sean ‘DiddyCombs was arrested so that celebrities associated with him would recommend his father’s opponent, Kamala Harris.

Combs was arrested in September on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. Federal prosecutors allege that Combs and his associates threatened, abused and coerced women and others around him “to fulfill his sexual desires” – including allegedly coercing victims into recorded sexual activities he called “Freak Offs.”

One lawsuit also alleges that Combs regularly hosted “sex trafficking parties” involving underage women and illegal drugs, and implies that record label executives who looked the other way benefited financially from access to celebrities and dignitaries, including Britain’s royal Prince Harry.

Now the former president’s eldest son has claimed that these celebrities are supporting Harris for pay, or because they were on a ‘Diddy party list’.

“We are once again seeing unprecedented amounts of pay-for-play,” Trump Jr. said. on his podcast: Activatedon Monday evening. “Again, none of this is organic. It’s a paid influencer operation. Know that. The celebrities who aren’t getting paid are probably getting paid some other way, because they’re on an Epstein list or a Diddy party list, or both.

“We’ve all seen Diddy magically get picked up, and suddenly everyone supports the Democrat, out of nowhere,” he added.

Trump Jr. presented no concrete evidence to support this claim or tie celebrities to Combs. Furthermore, many of the celebrities who supported Harris were already endorsing Biden and Democratic candidates long before Combs was arrested.

For example, Taylor Swift endorsed President Joe Biden in 2020 before encouraging fans to vote for Harris this year. Beyonce, who spoke at a Harris rally last weekalso supported the president four years ago. The same goes for Cardi B, Demi Lovato, Jennifer Lopez, John Legend, Madonna and dozens of other big names.

With just hours to go before polls close this election day, National polls show Harris and Trump neck-and-neck.

The vice president has a 0.9 point lead over the former president, according to the average of national polls as of Tuesday morning. The latest polls are released in the seven swing states The New York Times/Siena College shows a mixed bag. In five states, the gaps between the two candidates are less than two points among likely voters, with no predictable victory at this late stage.

In Nevada, Harris has a three-point lead, just within the margin of error. Meanwhile, Trump has built a four-point lead in Arizona, outside the margin of error.
