In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet and Joyce discuss the latest developments in the Department of Justice’s challenge to Texas’s restrictive abortion law: the district court order temporarily blocking enforcement of the law, the Fifth Circuit’s reinstatement of the law, and DOJ’s latest court filing challenging the Fifth Circuit’s ruling.

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss the indications that former Trump campaign CEO Steve Bannon plans to defy the subpoena to testify before the House select committee investigating the January 6th insurrection at the Capitol. They also break down the Senate Judiciary Committee’s report that revealed new details about former President Trump’s efforts to pressure DOJ officials to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
