Astead Herndon is a national political reporter for The New York Times and the host of a new podcast, “The Run-Up,” which looks ahead to November’s midterm elections, largely through the voice of the voters themselves. Herndon and Preet discuss whether we should trust the polls that show Democrats in a stronger position than previously anticipated heading into the midterms. They also talk about the kinds of voters that the Democrats must persuade in order to keep their majority in Congress and how podcasting is different from print journalism.

Plus, DOJ issues dozens of new subpoenas in a substantial move related to the January 6th investigation.

In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down DOJ’s unsealed, heavily-redacted affidavit in support of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant and a memorandum of law explaining the redactions. 

Did DOJ present a strong case that there was probable cause to believe that the FBI would find evidence relating to a potential crime at Mar-a-Lago? Why did DOJ make so many redactions to the affidavit? And does former President Donald Trump have strong arguments to challenge the search?

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss:

– The letter that Trump’s lawyer sent to DOJ to persuade prosecutors to stop the investigation into his alleged mishandling of presidential documents; 

– The order in which a federal judge signaled willingness to grant Trump’s request for the court to appoint a special master to review the seized documents;

– DOJ’s request for permission to file an extra-long brief in response to Trump’s claims; and 

– The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s investigation into the potential national security risks arising from the disclosure of information contained in the seized documents.
