The Russia Coup That Wasn't (with Joshua Yaffa)
Summary
Joshua Yaffa is a contributing writer at The New Yorker where he focuses on Russia and its war in Ukraine. Yaffa’s 2020 book, “Between Two Fires: Truth, Ambition, and Compromise in Putin’s Russia,” won the Orwell Prize for its depiction of everyday life in Russia. Yaffa and Preet discuss Yevgeny Prigozhin’s attempted coup last month and the message it sends about Putin’s power. They also talk about President Biden’s renewed intention to support Ukraine’s military, including his controversial decision to include cluster bombs in the U.S. aid package.
Plus, Preet discusses the DC Bar’s recommendation to disbar Rudy Giuliani for his effort to overturn President Biden’s 2020 election win, and how jurisdiction is determined in wire fraud cases.
