In this episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet and Joyce discuss the likelihood that the DOJ is investigating instigators of the January 6th attack, and react to Attorney General Garland’s speech about the Department’s approach to the investigations. They also break down the January 6th committee’s letter to Fox News host Sean Hannity asking him to voluntarily answer questions before the committee, the significance of the forthcoming public committee hearings, and the likelihood that Trump becomes Speaker of the House of Representatives in 2023 if Republicans take control of the chamber after the midterm election.
