Could. I mean, they've prosecutors have said that they've point blank said there's another grand jury investigation going on.

Yeah, they filed a letter today, his lawyers complaining about a lack of access to a laptop and then the restrictions that they've placed on him they don't like. It's like really limited when he can look at it. So they want that lifted. It's a request to the judge on that. So that was just filed today.

Yeah, it'd be to prepare for the case, do discovery, look at discovery, that kind of thing, do case preparation. And that's common. You definitely see that in other cases with incarcerated inmates where they have access to laptops. And his lawyers are saying the restrictions he faces are more restrictive than what others have had to face.

I think in a case like this, people are really interested in the filings and kind of the goings-on, all the intricate details that the lawyers are talking about in the PACER file. So I've been – I look at those case documents, and I try to prioritize posting new updates on the criminal case. But there's so many civil cases going on that I'm not really tracking anything. everything on that.

But there's so many civil cases going on that I'm not really tracking anything. everything on that.

But I am paying attention to the anonymity requests that we're seeing in the Southern District of New York, where the plaintiffs want to proceed anonymously under Jane Doe or John Doe, and they're having to litigate that through with some opposition. So I think that's an interesting thing to look at. But just that all the allegations that are being thrown around.

It depends on when it happens. Like I said, I don't think it's actually going to happen next year. Probably more is going to happen maybe in 2026. And the way the Southern District of New York works, it's not very welcoming to outside reporters. If you're not there all the time, you can't get credentials for the media room.

And the way the Southern District of New York works, it's not very welcoming to outside reporters. If you're not there all the time, you can't get credentials for the media room.

And the media room is where all the live transmitting goes on, live postings. typing on a computer. And if you don't have access to the media room, you would just go to the courtroom, which is great, but you would just be taking notes by hand. So it just kind of depends on the logistics of things there and how it works. And like I said, when it actually goes to trial, it's going to be a

Well, I mean, I wouldn't, I couldn't say that for sure. But just the fact, he's not waiving his right to a speedy trial. So if they don't get co-indictees, he could force them to trial in May. But if he gets other charges or co-indictees, they can change that. So I think it's pretty much, you know, we'll see.

I think we'll see an appeal to the Second Circuit. So that would be his fourth time. And I think it's just kind of an example of having a lot of money and a lot of lawyers. But in the end, there's only so much the lawyers can do for him in terms of money. You know, he's been indicted. Anything that comes up, they're obviously pursuing and being really aggressive about it.

But in the end, there's only so much the lawyers can do for him in terms of money. You know, he's been indicted. Anything that comes up, they're obviously pursuing and being really aggressive about it.

But the obvious thing for them to pursue is bail. So they're doing everything they can on that. But I think it's unlikely that, I mean, it was always unlikely because the charges favor pre-incarceration. It was always unlikely he was going to change anyone's mind on that. So I think it's unlikely the Second Circuit is going to do anything for him.

But, you know, his lawyers are always going to be able to find a way to spend his money.

Yeah, they filed something a while ago saying that he was using the jail phones, unauthorized use of the jail phones, doing three-way calls and paying other inmates to let him use their access codes to...

Yeah, they filed something a while ago saying that he was using the jail phones, unauthorized use of the jail phones, doing three-way calls and paying other inmates to let him use their access codes to...

access it uh access calls so his calls wouldn't be traceable and they had recordings of him talking to family members about coordinating like a pr campaign regarding his birthday and and a lot of it is redacted in the public filings uh

access it uh access calls so his calls wouldn't be traceable and they had recordings of him talking to family members about coordinating like a pr campaign regarding his birthday and and a lot of it is redacted in the public filings uh

So we don't know exactly what he was saying, but they're saying that he basically acknowledges he's trying to influence potential jurors, that he thinks that they see these happy birthday posts for him or something, that if anyone eventually gets on the jury, that's going to somehow persuade them or something. So the lawyers were pointing – or the prosecutors were pointing to that.

as a sign of witness tampering, a sign of he shouldn't be out on bond if he's doing this stuff in jail.

I don't know if they filed that. They're supposed to file that by the end of the day. I mean, I last time I checked like an hour ago, I hadn't seen it, but I haven't checked my phone to see if they have another leak.

I don't know if they filed that. They're supposed to file that by the end of the day. I mean, I last time I checked like an hour ago, I hadn't seen it, but I haven't checked my phone to see if they have another leak.

I know they're filing in, but yeah, the judge had taken them up on their offer to, they said that they would file an affidavit saying no one on the government leaked the video of Diddy assaulting Cassie in the hotel. I think that's what it was. I'd have to check, but they have until the end of the day to file that. So we might not see that until tonight.

Yeah, yeah, it is. And it just shows that... I think it might be part of the judges... consideration of what's going on with the attorney-client privilege issues and the notebooks seized from his jail cell, because that's one ongoing issue for the judge is to determine that. So I think he's just trying to assess what all is going on with the case. But yeah, I think it's unusual to have that.

So I think he's just trying to assess what all is going on with the case. But yeah, I think it's unusual to have that.

But also, I think there's a ton of federal cases that go on everywhere that don't get any coverage. So I can't say that that's rare, because... It might actually happen a lot. But I mean, this is just a really high profile case. So that's why we we notice it. But there's a lot of pretty intense litigation that goes on.

And when you have aggressive defense attorneys like that and a judge who's, you know, wanting to wanting to make sure everything's going on correctly, you can see things worse like that.

I mean, when his lawyers complain about the civil suits and all the civil attorneys talking out against him and saying that it's going to, you know, hurt his right to a fair trial. I mean, it doesn't seem like they're wrong, but it's just kind of a matter. I also think that we live in such an almost like fragmented society that it's not hard to find 12 people who have not really followed the case.

You know, it's in Manhattan where they pull the jury pool from. you know, busy enough that they're not even really paying attention to this case. So that's what I thought was most interesting about his birthday PR campaign. Not the fact that he was doing it, but just the fact that he somehow thought that that could work. Yeah. Like with somehow influenced a juror like later on.

Not everyone is like us watching every step. Yeah, yeah, exactly, exactly.

Yeah, I think the Yankees and the Mets and the Knicks. So it just kind of depends on what your flavor is. Good point. I mean, I just remember living in Spokane, Washington. and covering criminal trials there.

Yeah, I think the Yankees and the Mets and the Knicks. So it just kind of depends on what your flavor is. Good point. I mean, I just remember living in Spokane, Washington. and covering criminal trials there.

And I remember wanting to do a preview article on a trial before jury selection started, and the prosecutor being really concerned, because I was calling the prosecutor's office to talk to him about the case, and them really not wanting me to do an article, because they're like, it's going to influence the jury pool.

And if you think about it, in the jury pool in Spokane County, and it's the local paper that

And if you think about it, in the jury pool in Spokane County, and it's the local paper that

back in like 2008 was still widely read and subscribed to and the editors pointed out to me that it's really not the newspaper's job to concern about be concerned about that and it's a little inappropriate to have the government asking the newspaper to be concerned about that and i remember actually going in we did the article and we went and listened to uh it was listening to the jury selection and you'd be amazed how many people had never heard of the case before

I mean, it just ran in the, it's not that hard to find a bunch of people who have no idea about a major event going on in their own town.

Yeah. I can't think of the last time the Southern district of New York did a change of venue.

Yeah. I can't think of the last time the Southern district of New York did a change of venue.

I mean, maybe it's happened, but I haven't heard of it.

I mean, maybe it's happened, but I haven't heard of it.

I don't know. I mean, I haven't heard anything. I mean, they don't have to file that or anything. But that's definitely something as lawyers are looking at right now, for sure.

I know she was the prosecutor on the Jolene Maxwell case. You know, I just saw that this morning and I'm not sure if it's an addition of a prosecutor or just the she's replacing somebody who left. But it could indicate that they're getting ready to do because they have the grand jury proceeding going on. So there could be another indictment coming.

But I mean, it's just another AUSA joining the case who has experience in sex trafficking cases.

But I mean, it's just another AUSA joining the case who has experience in sex trafficking cases.

Yes. Yes, she was. She prosecuted Maxwell. So she has experience in this type of child in the sex trafficking case and then also child sex trafficking.

Yes. Yes, she was. She prosecuted Maxwell. So she has experience in this type of child in the sex trafficking case and then also child sex trafficking.

I mean, I think the grand jury investigation that's ongoing is the biggest thing that spells trouble for him. So I think the addition of the new prosecutor, I mean, like I said, she might be just replacing. So I'd have to check. I've been so busy with the YSL trial that I haven't. But I mean, she's an experienced AUSA in the Southern District of New York, and she's joining the case.

So it could indicate that perhaps there's going to be another indictment soon with more co-defendants.

So it could indicate that perhaps there's going to be another indictment soon with more co-defendants.

expecting anyway yeah what it would be a superseding indictment or or you think another probably co-conspirator who would be indicted uh superseding on him with other co-defendants i think um so that would conceivably push the trial date again yeah definitely i mean the idea that he's actually going to go to trial in may is kind of i don't think that's ever going to happen but

He's not – currently it's scheduled in May because he's not waiving his right to a speedy trial. But they can force a trial continuance even if he won't waive his right if he has co-defendants. And they've – I mean they've said that there's an ongoing grand jury investigation. Usually when you have a conspiracy case, you get co-indictees.
