Court is adjourned for the day because of the sick juror.

The trial will resume Friday following Thursday's Juneteenth holiday.

“We are going to make some further inquiries to address the juror situation,” Judge Subramanian said after the parties convened privately at the bench.

In the meantime, the judge is hearing defense objections to some pieces of evidence.

“We have a sick juror,” Judge Arun Subramanian announced after he took the bench Wednesday.

The juror has “vertigo symptoms,” the judge said. “I don’t think there’s any way for us to proceed today.”

The parties are discussing the issue in a sidebar.

Judge Arun Subramanian closed the courtroom to discuss a potential issue with one of the jurors. He did not retake the bench so the issue for now remains unresolved, at least publicly.

Judge Arun Subramanian called prosecution and defense parties together early Tuesday before testimony began and threatened possible sanctions regarding an unspecified published article, which he said violated the court’s gag order.

An article, the origin of which also was not specified, allegedly contained information that Subramanian said “necessarily involved the court’s sealing order.”

The judge sealed the courtroom briefly on Friday to discuss an issue concerning a juror, separate from the former juror No. 6, who was excused for what Subramanian said were "serious concerns as to the juror’s candor" when questioned prior to his selection. In a subsequent letter, portions of which were redacted, prosecutors said the issue with the second juror involves “communications with his former colleague” over his jury service.

When federal prosecutors and Sean Combs’ defense attorneys claimed ignorance, Subramanian declared, “Someone’s lying.”

The judge said a violation of his sealing orders or his gag order “may result in civil and criminal contempt charges.” He pledged to “swiftly investigate and punish any violations that take place.”

Subramanian said he held lead counsel – Maurene Comey for the government and Marc Agnifilo for the defense – personally responsible for the conduct of their teams.

“There’s no passing the buck anymore. The buck stops with you. If anything happens then lead counsel is responsible,” Subramanian said. “If a judge in this court were to write an opinion documenting lead counsel’s violation of court’s orders, that would be a bad thing.”

Subramanian also threatened to compel the attorneys to testify in a court and to conduct an examination of their electronic devices.

“This is the only warning I will give,” the judge said.
