Someone's leaking information about Jane Doe's case against the Cornell 7 ... her lawyer thinks Mark Geragos is the culprit, but Geragos came out swinging on the latest "2 Angry Men" podcast.
Jane Doe's lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, filed legal docs this week opposing a proposed gag order in the case, arguing he's only gone public to react to negative stories about his client.
He's also pointing the finger at Geragos, claiming he's been leaking defense info to TMZ like a sieve ... postulating his daughter Teny -- who reps one of the Cornell 7 -- is funneling info to her dad and he's passing it along. Teny has already called BS, but Mark hasn't addressed the claim ... until now.
Check out "2 Angry Men" ... Harvey and Mark challenge Giuffra on several counts, including his claim he only goes on TV to react to negative stories against his client.

The judge says simply expressing opinions about the case isn't enough to take away someone's right to free speech ... and Sarabia's lawyers didn't give her a good enough reason to step in.
Jane Doe's attorney is a massive hypocrite for claiming lawyers for the Cornell 7 are leaking documents to the media to make their clients look good ... at least according to Gillio Lopes' lawyer.
Andrew Miltenberg fired back at Doe's lawyer, Thomas Giuffra, in a scathing statement to TMZ ... "The hypocrisy in Mr. Giuffra's sudden outrage over defense counsel speaking to the media is astonishing. He spent weeks promoting his client's allegations on television, in newspapers and across the internet, helping turn this case into a national media spectacle before the seven publicly identified defendants had a meaningful opportunity even to review the allegations, much less respond."
Miltenberg's return volley comes after Giuffra filed legal docs claiming his media appearances were kosher and the defense attorneys were leaking like a sieve. Giuffra name-dropped TMZ and highlighted our relationship with Mark Geragos.
8:26 AM PT --Winston Lee's lawyer, Teny Geragos, tells TMZ ... "To the extent Mr. Giuffra is implying I’m leaking anything, that is false. But, the facts will come out and they will show my client did not assault or harm this person.”

In the documents, Giuffra claims it's the lawyers for the so-called Cornell 7 leaking documents to the press ... and, at one point, he highlights TMZ's relationship with Mark Geragos -- implying he's been carrying the water for the defense's position and getting information out through TMZ.

Dr. Michael Kotlikoff -- the president of Cornell University -- is personally apologizing to Jane Doe for her experience at the Ivy League school ... and it sounds like he won't resign.
The New York Times sat down with Kotlikoff for a wide-ranging interview, and he said he was "personally sorry" for everything Doe says she experienced when she was enrolled at Cornell.
While he's deeply sorry, the interview also revealed just how in the dark Kotlikoff says he was about the original investigation into her sexual assault claims ... he says he didn't read hundreds of pages of confidential records put together during the Title IX investigation out of respect for students' privacy.

Cornell is under fire for allegedly doling out soft punishments for students accused of sexual misconduct ... expelling a very small portion of students found responsible for sexual assault in the years before Jane Doe claimed she was gang raped at a frat party.
Here's the deal ... CNN reviewed school records and data released by the Ivy League university and found 51 formal complaints about sexual assault were filed between mid-2020 and mid-2024. Jane claims she was sexually assaulted in October 2024.

The lawyer for Diego Sarabia, one of seven men named in the explosive civil lawsuit, is asking a New York judge to rein in attorney Thomas Giuffra's media appearances ... according to court docs obtained by TMZ.
Sarabia's lawyers are ripping Giuffra, claiming he's waging an "orchestrated campaign" in the press ... pointing to interviews in which he's accused Cornell of a cover-up, claimed evidence was destroyed, and suggested even more men may have participated in the alleged assault.
There's more than one way to analyze the slew of texts between Jane Doe and the men she's accusing of sexual assault, and Harvey and Mark Geragos dive into all possibilities on the new "2 Angry Men" podcast.
As we reported, Jane Doe's account of the notorious frat party shifts from consensual encounter to rape ... over the course of a few weeks. So, is this a case of repressed memory or damage control? Mark has strong feelings on this one.
