In this sample from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down DOJ’s unsealed, heavily-redacted affidavit in support of the Mar-a-Lago search warrant and a memorandum of law explaining the redactions.  Did DOJ present a strong case that there was probable cause to believe that the FBI would find evidence relating to a potential crime at Mar-a-Lago?

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss: – The letter that Trump’s lawyer sent to DOJ to persuade prosecutors to stop the investigation into his alleged mishandling of presidential documents;  – The order in which a federal judge signaled willingness to grant Trump’s request for the court to appoint a special master to review the seized documents; – DOJ’s request for permission to file an extra-long brief in response to Trump’s claims; and  – The Office of the Director of National Intelligence’s investigation into the potential national security risks arising from the disclosure of information contained in the seized documents.
