On this episode of CAFE Insider, Preet and Joyce are joined by Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Carol Leonnig, who, along with her team at the Washington Post, recently uncovered a secret criminal investigation into whether former President Donald Trump received money from the Egyptian government in violation of campaign finance laws. Leonnig, author of the book, Zero Fail: The Rise and Fall of the Secret Service, also speaks about the Secret Service failures that led to the Trump assassination attempt.

Preet and Joyce also discuss Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s decision to revoke a plea deal that would have allowed Khalid Shaikh Mohammad, the man accused of plotting al-Qaeda's 9/11 attack, to avoid the death penalty.
