Warner Brothers Discovery attempted to use reporters' privilege to keep the outtakes out of the case, but the judge rejected that notion because both of the individuals in the footage seem likely to be giving testimony in the trial, and therefore the outtakes are deemed relevant and admissible. As we're recording this episode, they're actually still in court, but we do have a reporter inside.

So we're hoping to check back with our reporter and get more information as it comes. Thanks for listening. We'll be back before you know it.

We certainly could, Kayla. But for this week, Diddy's legal team actually added a new member, Atlanta-based attorney Brian Steele, who has previously represented Young Thug. Steele submitted paperwork with the United States District Court in the Southern District of New York on Tuesday, indicating his intent to appear as counsel for Diddy when the trial properly kicks off in just 26 days.

He's actually a very interesting attorney. Brian Steele is a seasoned criminal defense attorney, but he's, again, based in Atlanta, Georgia, which is why he actually filed a request to be able to practice in New York to join Diddy's team.

And as we mentioned earlier, he's best known for representing Young Thug in his own racketeering case, which actually was the longest in Georgia's history, I believe. What's interesting, again, about him, he's really known as being very aggressive and tough in court, and he really stands his ground. At least that's what a lot of the other attorneys who I spoke to have said.

He was even actually held in contempt in court during that trial because he refused to disclose how he learned about a private meeting between a judge, prosecutors, and a key witness in that case. So that actually was later reverted, that contempt ruling. against Steele, which was ruled by the Georgia Supreme Court. And so he was able to go on with the case.

But TMZ actually also reported that Diddy's legal team was looking to add a black attorney after Anthony Rico left the case. So it was kind of a surprise that Brian Steele's name came up.
