Trump Blocked: Slush Fund & Kennedy Center

About this episode

Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance discuss a federal judge blocking Trump's efforts regarding the Kennedy Center and other legal matters.

A federal judge has blocked Trump’s efforts to add his own name to the Kennedy Center, a performing arts institution that honors the legacy of President John F. Kennedy. In this excerpt from the Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down the court’s legal reasoning and larger takeaways from this development. In the full Insider episode, they cover: – Trump’s “anti-weaponization” fund, and a federal court decision that effectively reopens Trump’s lawsuit against the IRS; and – Reports that the Justice Department is investigating E. Jean Carroll, who accused Trump of sexual assault and won two defamation lawsuits against him, for allegedly committing perjury.
