Is Preet Bharara left or right?
Bharara is a former US Attorney for the Southern District of New York (2009-2017) who was dismissed by the Trump administration in March 2017 and has since become one of the most prominent establishment-liberal legal voices in media, hosting 'Stay Tuned with Preet' and co-hosting 'CAFE Insider' on the Vox Media Podcast Network. He kept no party registration while a prosecutor but registered as a Democrat in New York in 2018, and his commentary is institutionalist rather than activist — centered on prosecutorial norms, judicial independence, and the Justice Department. Through 2025-2026 he has been a steady critic of the second Trump administration on rule-of-law grounds, saying its executive orders were 'not done in good faith' and warning about eroding faith in law enforcement. He is also a partner at WilmerHale — the firm that successfully sued to strike down a Trump executive order targeting it in 2025 — and a scholar-in-residence at NYU School of Law.
