CAFE Insider Sample 1/25: "The Kraken's Kraken"

Ivanka Trump, Bill Barr, and Sidney Powell are back in the news. Meanwhile, multiple investigations into Donald Trump — in both New York state and Georgia — are ramping up.

In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet and Joyce break down a draft executive order to seize voting machines and appoint a special counsel to probe the 2020 election, which was reportedly included in a tranche of Trump White House documents released to the January 6th committee following a Supreme Court order. They also discuss former Attorney General Bill Barr’s reported conversations with the committee.

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce break down: 

– Subpoenas issued by the January 6th committee to Trump lawyers Rudy Giuliani, Jenna Ellis, and Sidney Powell;

– The committee’s request to interview Ivanka Trump; 

– New York Attorney General Letitia James’s motion to compel Donald Trump, Donald Trump Jr., and Ivanka Trump to testify as part of a civil investigation into whether Trump overvalued his properties; and

– The forthcoming impaneling of a special grand jury in the Georgia investigation into Trump’s alleged election interference.
