a meeting in the Cabinet Room on December 21 with about a dozen members of Congress. The vice president and Marc Short, his chief of staff and former OLA director, also participated in the meeting. The president and Mark made sporadic appearances. I was in and out of the meeting and understood Rudy was primarily discussing the vice president’s ceremonial role of certifying the election results on January 6, which I would come to associate with John Eastman, a lawyer advising the president on the 2020 election.
