Also on the legal team is Teny Geragos, the daughter of famous celebrity attorney Mark Geragos. In the last few days, the prosecution has taken issue with the elder Geragos, because of content shared on his podcast – 2 Angry Men.
“I’m here to support my daughter. (Combs) is a friend,” he told CNN on Tuesday.
