Starting off in the Bistro Cafe, Donald Trump and allies continue to assert executive privilege as a way to dodge providing testimony in criminal investigations.

On the rest of the menu, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton blamed the Biden Justice Department for an investigation that was begun under Trump; North Carolina GOP Senate nominee Ted Budd was part of business scheme accused of defrauding farmers; and, Georgia DA Fani Willis urged the Supreme Court to allow Lindsey Graham’s testimony.

After the break, we move to the Chef’s Table where the FBI is probing an ex-CIA officer’s spying for World Cup host Qatar; and, a court in Belarus sentenced yet another independent journalist to three years in prison.

All that and more, on West Coast Cookbook & Speakeasy with Chef de Cuisine Justice Putnam.

Bon Appétit!
