In this excerpt from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down the Supreme Court’s decision to grant review in a case that concerns the scope of the obstruction statute prosecutors have used to charge January 6 rioters and Donald Trump.
In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss:
– The vote by House Republicans to formally launch an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden;
– The Supreme Court’s decision to grant review in a case that involves potential restrictions on the abortion drug Mifepristone;
– The expedited schedule set by the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals in Trump’s appeal of the lower court’s rejection of his absolute immunity defense in the election subversion criminal case;
– A federal jury’s decision to order Rudy Giuliani to pay $148 million in damages for defaming two Georgia election workers; and
