US EditionProsecutors accuse Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs’ defense team of consulting with celebrity attorney Mark Geragos
- Sean 'Diddy' Combs is facing a federal sex trafficking trial that began jury selection this week in a courtroom where Mark Geragos has appeared.
- Prosecutors raised concerns in a letter that Geragos, a high-profile attorney present since Monday, is advising the defense despite him stating he is not entering the case.
- Last month, Combs bolstered his defense team by bringing on Atlanta attorney Brian Steel, and shortly before jury selection commenced on Friday, he also enlisted New York lawyer Xavier Donaldson.
- Geragos defended calling the prosecution an alleged “six pack of white women,” explaining his remarks as an observation about bias, while the judge called the comment outrageous.
- The jury, expected to be seated Wednesday, includes individuals aware of a 2016 video showing Combs assaulting his former girlfriend, raising concerns about prejudgment.
