CAFE Insider 9/20: "Damoclean Threat" Sep 20, 2022

Show notes

In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down former President Donald Trump’s assertion, in media appearances, that he declassified the government documents that the FBI seized from Mar-a-Lago. What impact would declassification of the documents have on the forthcoming special master review? And why haven’t Trump’s lawyers raised the declassification argument in court filings?

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss:

– The appointment of Judge Raymond Dearie of the Eastern District of New York as special master to review the more than 11,000 documents seized from Mar-a-Lago;

– DOJ’s request for the 11th Circuit to freeze the district court order that blocked investigators from using the seized classified documents in furtherance of the investigation; and

– The reports signaling prosecutors are far from deciding whether to bring charges against Trump or his associates, despite indications that DOJ’s investigation into January 6th is accelerating.

CAFE Insider 9/6: “Outrageous Order” (with Maya Wiley) Sep 06, 2022

Show notes

This week on the CAFE Insider podcast, Joyce Vance is joined by guest co-host Maya Wiley while Preet is at the Code Conference. Maya is the President and CEO of The Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights. She has also served as counsel to the mayor of New York City and in the Civil Division of the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.

In this sample from the episode, Joyce and Maya break down Judge Aileen Cannon’s order granting former President Donald Trump’s request for a special master to review the documents seized during the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search. Does Judge Cannon’s reasoning hold up to scrutiny? And how could the order inhibit the Justice Department from continuing the investigation into Trump’s handling of the documents?

In the full episode, Joyce and Maya discuss:

– The special master issue, including the strengths of Trump’s claims of attorney-client privilege and executive privilege, and the factors the DOJ is balancing in deciding whether to appeal Judge Cannon’s special master order; and

– The January 6th Committee’s request to interview former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, and the likelihood that former Vice President Mike Pence testifies before the Committee.
