This week on the CAFE Insider podcast, Dan Goldman guest co-hosts with Joyce Vance. Dan served as House Majority Counsel during the first impeachment of Donald Trump, and before that, he was an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the Southern District of New York under Preet.

On the docket this week:

– The court order in which a federal judge determined that Trump likely committed crimes in his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election results;

– The texts Ginni Thomas, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, sent to Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, in which she pressed Meadows to help overturn the election results; and

– The reports that Jared Kushner will meet with the January 6th Committee later this week.
