The legal drama surrounding Sean “Diddy” Combs just got more heated, as famed attorney Mark Geragos finds himself in hot water with federal prosecutors. Geragos, who is providing legal counsel to Diddy, has come under fire for his involvement in the case and his podcast, “2 Angry Men.”
During the first day of jury selection in Diddy’s criminal trial, Geragos was spotted in court behind the seven attorneys Diddy has retained for his defense. However, prosecutors have raised concerns about Geragos’ participation in the case, as he does not have clearance to be part of the defense team. They have also noted that Geragos frequently discusses the case on his podcast, “2 Angry Men,” which he co-hosts with TMZ’s Harvey Levin.
In a letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, prosecutors cited a rule that prohibits anyone associated with the defense from making public statements that could interfere with a fair trial. They specifically pointed out Geragos’ comments on a recent episode of “2 Angry Men,” where he discussed details of Diddy’s case, including the Cassie beating video, the prosecution team, and the defense’s arguments.
Prosecutors are particularly concerned about Geragos’ podcast, as they believe it could potentially influence the outcome of the trial. They have requested the judge to remind Geragos that he cannot continue to participate in the case while also making public statements on his podcast.
It seems that Geragos’ dual role as Diddy’s legal counsel and a podcast host has put him in a precarious position. Prosecutors are adamant about ensuring a fair trial for Diddy and are closely monitoring Geragos’ actions in the case.
As the legal battle unfolds, it remains to be seen how Geragos will navigate the situation and whether Diddy’s defense team will face any repercussions for his involvement. One thing is for sure, the tension between the prosecutors and Geragos is only escalating, and it looks like Harvey Levin may need to find a new “Angry Man” for his podcast.
