As the saying goes, when you come at the king, you best not miss. Has New York DA Alvin Bragg overplayed his hand in indicting former President Trump over what, at first blush, may not seem to be the most serious charges? Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara joins the show to talk Trump legal woes. They also talk Justice Thomas and this week's intelligence leak.

Listen: Where democracy is built upon the principles of rule of law, legal challenges faced by public officials are a sober matter. On the GZERO World podcast, Ian Bremmer sits down with former US Attorney for the Southern District of NY and podcast host, Preet Bharara. Together, they explore the current state of the US legal system, the hurdles for keeping public officials to account, and the potential implications for democracy when a former president is criminally charged by federal courts. Bharara draws from his extensive experience as a prosecutor to offer insightful perspectives on pressing legal concerns, including the role of executive privilege in government accountability. The duo also takes a deep dive into news headlines, addressing the ethical dilemma surrounding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and the ongoing Department of Justice investigation into the Ukraine leak.
