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.
And that hearing you mentioned there also featured Combs' lawyers suggesting that they may require a two-week adjournment for his trial if they don't receive what they described as critical evidence from prosecutors. One of Combs' attorneys, Tenny Garagos, said the defense hasn't received some 200,000 emails between Diddy and one of the alleged victims. Now, here's a question for you, Kayla.
Want to take a guess?
So using my calculator came up with 36 and that means 18 emails a day each every single day for 15 years.
That's incredible. So that's something to ponder there. So anyway, Assistant U.S. Attorney Chrissy Slavik said prosecutors opposed any delay and went on to accuse Combs's lawyers of using, quote, gamesmanship to delay the trial. Judge Subramanian, a man with a good turn of phrase, told the defense, saying, quote, we are on a freight train speeding towards trial.
If you want an adjournment, you need to make that application within the next 48 hours.
Yeah.
There's so much more coming up, but for now, let's pause for a break.
Welcome back to The Trial of Diddy. We're still here with Nancy Grace.

At the height of his career, Sean Diddy Combs had it all. It seemed like everything Diddy touched turned to gold. Now the once untouchable hip-hop mogul is fighting for his life as he faces multiple federal charges in New York, including sex trafficking and allegedly running a criminal enterprise.
Music mogul and rapper Sean Diddy Combs has faced four different lawsuits in recent weeks alleging sexual assault. I'm DailyMail.com journalist Marjorie Hernandez. And over the last six months, I've been investigating this incredible story and speaking to the people in the eye of the storm.
Welcome to the Trial of Diddy.
And I'm Marjorie Hernandez, DailyMail.com's West Coast news editor.
And of course, there's more. On the same day, April 4th, Diddy's legal team filed a motion to exclude, quote, prior bad acts evidence.
