Prosecutors blast celebrity lawyer working with Diddy for blabbing about trial on his TMZ podcast
Briefly

Federal prosecutors are requesting a judge to admonish attorney Mark Geragos for his remarks about Sean 'Diddy' Combs on the '2 Angry Men' podcast. Geragos discussed evidence expected at Diddy's upcoming trial, including a video of alleged violence against his former girlfriend, Cassie Ventura. He characterized the video's presentation as 'character assassination,' also noting Combs' 'violent temper,' which, he argues, is not relevant to the charges at hand. This situation raises significant legal and ethical questions about discussing ongoing cases publicly, especially by someone close to the defense.
Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to admonish attorney Mark Geragos for discussing Sean Combs' criminal trial on his podcast, claiming it jeopardizes the case.
Geragos has argued that a security video showing Combs hitting his girlfriend is 'character assassination' and part of a prosecution 'by proxy'.
Although Geragos acknowledges Combs has a 'violent temper,' he emphasizes that this isn't the charge he's facing in court.
On his podcast, Geragos questioned whether viewers could relate to tempers flaring when significant others take their belongings during arguments.
