About this episode
Former President Donald Trump, former Vice President Mike Pence, Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (ret.), and lawyer Michael Avenatti are making headlines this week. In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet and Joyce discuss reports that Trump took presidential documents to Mar-a-Lago instead of giving them to the National Archives, as required by the Presidential Records Act. They also break down the January 6th Committee’s efforts to compel witnesses to testify, including meeting with former DOJ official Jeffrey Clark and holding former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress. In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss: – The GOP’s classification of the January 6th attack as “legitimate political discourse”; – The impact of Trump’s statement about pardoning January 6th rioters; – The lawsuit filed by Lt. Col. Alexander Vindman (ret.), a witness in Trump’s first impeachment, against Donald Trump Jr. & Rudy Giuliani for witness intimidation; – The conviction of lawyer Michael Avenatti for defrauding his former client, Stormy Daniels.
