In this excerpt from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the leaked audio recording in which former President Donald Trump bragged about retaining, what sounds to be, a classified document outlining a potential United States attack on Iran.

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce break down:

• The testimony by IRS whistleblowers who accused Justice Department leadership and the Delaware U.S. Attorney’s office of political interference in the Hunter Biden probe;
• An Arkansas federal judge’s order that, for the first time, struck down a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender minors; and
• The ProPublica report that Justice Samuel Alito failed to disclose a 2008 trip on a private jet paid for by a GOP billionaire who had business before the Supreme Court, and Alito’s Wall Street Journal op-ed denying the claims before the report was released.
