P. Diddy Deletes Instagram Posts Amid Federal Trafficking Investigation

Sean “Diddy” Combs, who has nearly 20 million followers on Instagram, deleted all of his photos and videos this week, including a video where he apologized for a beating caught on hotel surveillance video. There is reportedly a federal trafficking investigation underway with connections to Combs, but he has not been arrested or charged. Law&Crime’s Jesse Weber discusses the decision to cut ties with social media with Nadia Shihata, the former federal prosecutor who helped put R. Kelly behind bars.
