In this episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet and Joyce break down former President Donald Trump’s ongoing legal battles, including Manhattan District Attorney Cy Vance’s decision to convene a special grand jury to consider evidence of potential wrongdoing by Trump and his associates, and Trump’s motion to dismiss a lawsuit that seeks to hold him responsible for inciting the Capitol insurrection. They also discuss DOJ’s efforts to keep secret a 2019 memo that former Attorney General Bill Barr used to justify his decision to absolve Trump of obstruction of justice.

We hope you’re finding CAFE Insider informative. Email us at [email protected] with your suggestions and questions for Preet and Joyce.
