In this excerpt from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss the gag order imposed on former President Donald Trump in the hush money prosecution in Manhattan. The gag order initially prevented Trump from criticizing witnesses, court staff, and jurors, but was recently expanded to also cover the judge’s and DA’s families after Trump made a series of social media posts attacking the judge’s daughter.

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce break down:

– Reporting that Fulton County DA Fani Willis plans to take a lead role in trying the Trump election subversion prosecution in Georgia; 

– The Supreme Court oral arguments in a case that threatens to scale back access to the abortion drug Mifepristone; and

– Former special counsel Robert Hur’s recent testimony at a Congressional hearing about his report on President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents.
