In this bonus from Stay Tuned, Preet and Joyce discuss the resignation of Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle after her testimony before the House Oversight Committee about the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
Listen to the special Stay Tuned episode, featuring Preet and Joyce in conversation with UCLA law professor and founder of Election Law Blog Rick Hasen about the legal dilemmas stemming from President Joe Biden’s decision to exit the presidential race. Could Republican legal challenges interfere with the election? And, if Vice President Kamala Harris becomes the Democratic nominee, does she inherit Biden’s war chest?

Preet Bharara:
Hey, Insiders. The news keeps coming. As you all have heard, President Joe Biden has bowed out of the presidential race. This decision leaves the country in uncharted election law territory. Republican leaders have now threatened to file lawsuits seeking to force Biden to stay in the race, and there are questions about whether Vice President Kamala Harris would inherit the Biden campaign’s war chest if she becomes a Democratic nominee.
To help us understand some of these issues, Joyce and I spoke with Rick Hasen, a law professor at UCLA School of Law and the founder of Election Law Blog. To listen, head over to the Stay Tuned feed wherever you listen to podcasts, or click the link in the show notes of this episode. And keep listening here where Joyce and I break down Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle’s resignation following testimony before the House Oversight Committee about the failed assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump.
This program is exclusively for members of CAFE Insider. Now, onto the show. So Joyce, the other big issue continues to be the after action report and investigation and inquiry with what went wrong, how many things went wrong with the Secret Services’ protection of former President Donald Trump that gave way to an assassination attempt.
