CAFE Insider 1/21: Mock Trial
In this episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, “Mock Trial,” hosts Preet Bharara and Anne Milgram break down the latest developments:The appointment of House managers who’ll be prosecuting the case, and the president’s “all-star” defense team, which includes Alan Dershowitz and Ken Starr.The trial rules proposed by Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, which Democrats argue give a helping hand to the White House making it impossible to have fair proceedings.The defenses raised by the president in legal briefs, rejecting both articles of impeachment as invalid.New evidence provided by Rudy Giuliani’s associate Lev Parnas, who implicates President Trump, Vice President Pence, Attorney General Bill Barr, and Rep. Devin Nunes, ranking member of the House Intelligence Committee.
