During the second day of the Diddy trial, there is controversy surrounding Diddy's lawyer, Mark Geragos. Federal prosecutors are concerned about Geragos publicly discussing the criminal case on his podcast 2 Angry Men with Harvey Levin from TMZ. Although Geragos has not formally joined the defense team, he has been advising Diddy and attending court proceedings, including jury selection that began on May 5.

Prosecutors have raised a red flag, pointing out that attorneys involved in a criminal trial are not allowed to make public statements that could influence jurors or impact the fairness of the trial. They specifically referenced comments made by Geragos on his podcast where he criticized the prosecution team and discussed potential defense strategies. The government argues that Geragos' public remarks could prejudice the jury pool and undermine the trial's integrity.

Prosecutors are urging the judge to caution Geragos and his firm about adhering to the rules and to cease any further public discussions that could disrupt the trial.
