under trump for four years. the former marine was brought into the white house by top asea advisor michael flynn. he alerted mark meadows the national guard had still not arrived at the capitol on january 6th. a source tells cnn his inaction led to her resignation that night. he said that we could make the rinos do the right thing, is the way he phrased it. and no one spoke up initially, because i think everyone was trying to process what he meant by that. reporter: now she will testify about what he experienced in the white house that day. it was clear that it was escalating and escalating quickly, so when that tweet the mike pence tweet was sent out, i remember us saying that that was the last thing that needed to be tweeted at that moment. the situation was already bad, and so it felt like he was pouring gasoline on the fire by tweeting that. reporter: the kent state graduate had spent her adult life working in politics spending her summers interning for portman,
of the unknown. and i think for generations to come we will still be uncovering the history of that time of the refugees and we will talk a little bit about that and to the country. it s something your family experience. i thought we would begin and we will start talking about it. thank you so much, thank you for inviting me to it come. so my book, when i was talking to cheryl she said it s not what i expected. and i think it s because it is not what they expected because it tries to dude almost to all but sit things. it tries to tell a very intimate history of a daughter and a father, and a history of my life and relationships with other people. as well as a super scholarly, footnoted book for everything is research very carefully. we do these things of the same time and it begins with a very intimate introduction, and it is an introduction about my life. so i will just jump in and then we will talk some more. we had been six at home. my parents, siblings, and paternal gra

Although in the very recent past, in the last couple of weeks, courts have stepped in to block some of the worst of the wisconsin voting restrictions. So, on paper, i think the R
