The January 6th Committee recently held its first two public hearings of the year. In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down the evidence prosecutors could use at trial to demonstrate former President Donald Trump’s mental state for his conduct relating to the insurrection.

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce further discuss the January 6th hearings, including: 

• The Committee’s argument that former Trump is responsible for the insurrection;
• The taped testimony from Ivanka Trump, Jared Kushner, former Attorney General Bill Barr, and former Trump campaign manager Bill Stepien; 
• The live testimony from former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Georgia Bjay Pak; and
• The newly-released footage from the attack.
