Summary
Is President Donald Trump asking FBI staff to prove their loyalty to him and not the Constitution? In an excerpt from the CAFE Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down Trump’s retaliation tactics against federal law enforcement officials for investigating and prosecuting crimes related to January 6.
In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss Trump’s purge of DOJ prosecutors and FBI leadership. They also break down:
