In this excerpt from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the implications of plea deals that Donald Trump’s co-defendants, lawyers Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Kenneth Chesebro, struck with prosecutors in the Georgia election interference case, including their agreements to testify against Trump and other defendants.

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss:

• Trump’s $5,000 fine for violating a gag order in the New York civil fraud case after a social media post attacking a court clerk remained on his campaign website; and
• The Supreme Court oral arguments in a case challenging South Carolina’s congressional map as an unconstitutional racial gerrymander.
