Former President Donald Trump, the National Archives, New York Attorney General Letitia James, and special counsel John Durham are making headlines this week.
In a letter to Congress, the National Archives confirmed that Trump took classified materials to Mar-a-Lago instead of giving them to the Archives, as required by the Presidential Records Act. In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet and Joyce discuss Trump’s mishandling of the classified documents, including the likelihood that the Department of Justice is investigating his conduct, and the probability that Trump or his staff will face charges.
In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss:
- A court order for Trump and his children, Don Jr. and Ivanka, to sit for depositions as part of New York Attorney General Letitia James’s investigation into Trump’s business dealings; and
- Two new court filings from special counsel John Durham’s investigation into the origins of the FBI’s Russia probe.
