Summary

In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the pair of conflicting court orders issued by federal judges in Texas and Washington state that have put access to the abortion drug Mifepristone in limbo. In the full episode, Preet and Joyce break down: – Issues stemming from former President Trump’s indictment in Manhattan, including whether prosecutors should have named the particular crime they allege Trump intended to conceal by falsifying business records, and whether prosecutors have the evidence to show the requisite intent to defraud under NY law; – Whether Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas should have disclosed luxury trips and other hospitality he and his wife received from his friend, a billionaire GOP donor, as reported by ProPublica.
