A federal judge has cautioned Mark Geragos, the attorney for music legend Sean 'Diddy' Combs, to moderate his public commentary amid the ongoing sex trafficking trial. The admonition followed Geragos' contentious remarks on a podcast where he referred to prosecutors as a 'six-pack of white women.'

The judge emphasized the importance of professional decorum, underscoring that such comments are inappropriate in the legal setting.
