That Signal Chat, Alina Habba, Domestic Terror, and Deportations

The Atlantic has entered the chat. Jeffrey Goldberg, the magazine’s editor-in-chief, was mistakenly included in a Signal group chat featuring senior members of the Trump administration discussing highly sensitive information about imminent war plans. In an excerpt from the Insider podcast, Preet Bharara and Joyce Vance break down the hypocrisy and incompetence on display this week from Trump’s White House. In the full episode, Preet and Joyce discuss:

– The naming of Trump’s former personal attorney Alina Habba as the interim U.S. Attorney for New Jersey; and – The attacks targeting Tesla and DOJ’s decision to investigate these acts as domestic terrorism; and – The latest in Trump’s ongoing efforts to use the Alien Enemies Act to deport alleged Venezuelan gang members.
