Summary

Today, Liz and Andrew have two stories for us, each touching on executive privilege.

We begin with a quick fun Liz story where what comes around, goes around, particularly in Georgia.

Then, for the first main story, Liz gives us a detailed update in the E. Jean Carroll litigation, where Trump has finally replaced Alina Habba with an actual lawyer. How's that going to go for him? Hint: probably still not great.

After that, Andrew picks up a story involving the January 6th Committee, the New York Times, Politico, Judge Beryl A. Howell, executive privilege, and the world's longest minute order. It's a deep dive and a breaking news story all in one!
