lawyer is trying to block the january six committee to block a key piece of information that would tie the ex president directly to the efforts to overthrow the 2020 election. you may remember that john eastman was the attorney that orchestrated the failed former presidents last-ditch effort to overturn the legitimate election lost. he drafted memos that laid out a xiaojie for vice president mike pence to unlawfully strew swing the election results and donald trump s favor. with a late court filing, eastman urged a judge to maintain the confidentiality of his work for the ex president. he may have given us the clearest insight yet into the flurry of miscommunication, or the flurry of communication, between the former president, the top aides, and the campaign lawyers. political reports quote that the filing also describes the direct role of trump himself in developing strategy, detailing two-handed written notes from the former president about information that he thought migh

Hayden, and i loved your response to that. Well, thank you. Does anybody else have a question . Do you have a question, sir . Thank you. Just a question about the Montgomery County Library System which is really important here. Since one out of three people here were born in another country, here in gaithersburg and a few others called the english conversation club, ive been with it for about ten years where we teach immigrants english, we help them learn the culture, help them, you know, get a drivers license, help many of them become citizens. And recently were talking about technology, i started broadcasting our meetings live on facebook live, and weve had thousands of people around the world watching the meetings from the Montgomery County library. Thank you. Gentleman in the back. I just wanted to say one of the best things about living in Montgomery County is the great Library System and the great Staff Members they have there.

How much you want them to ensure that we can continue to get Library Services and please, when we put out a call that we need your support, please do so.

Does anybody in the audience have a question . If not, i will go on. Its not a question, but i wanted to thank you very much for your comment about dr. Carla hayden, and i loved your response to that. Well, thank you. Does anybody else have a ques
