In Defense of Jack Smith (with Joyce Vance)

On a new episode of CAFE Insider, Preet and Joyce discuss special counsel Jack Smith’s brief on presidential immunity in the election interference prosecution of former President Donald Trump. 

In an excerpt from the show, they respond to CAFE Contributor Elie Honig’s article criticizing Smith and Chutkan. Was Chutkan right to make the brief public? Are the allegations in the brief unduly prejudicial against Trump? And was it all politics?

In the full episode, Preet and Joyce further respond to Honig’s critiques of Smith and Chutkan. They also analyze the content of Smith’s brief, including the evidence he intends to present at trial and his argument that the charges should survive Trump’s immunity challenges.
