In an excerpt from a new episode of the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down California Governor Gavin Newsom’s executive order directing state officials to disband homeless encampments. Newsom’s directive followed a Supreme Court ruling that a local Oregon ordinance criminalizing public encampments did not violate the 8th Amendment’s ban on “cruel and unusual punishment.”

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss:

– The possible legal ramifications if former President Donald Trump decides to replace his running mate, Senator JD Vance; 

– U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan’s decision-making and scheduling now that she has regained control over the election interference case against Trump brought by special counsel Jack Smith, and her order rejecting Trump’s motion to dismiss the indictment for selective and vindictive prosecution; and

– The U.S. Supreme Court’s rejection of a long-shot effort by the state of Missouri to block Trump’s gag order and sentencing in his Manhattan case.
