Too late now to make those kinds of arrangements. but nonetheless it will still be impactful throughout the day on tis as it gathers strength. and next 24 hours, we ll see that by wednesday morning, programs we will be a category 3. it had been a little bit later in the day. but we think perhaps landfall will be about midday on wednesday. maybe around the big bend area there. which is very sparsely populated. a lot of wildlife management areas, a lot of recreational activity that would take place there. there are still communities, but the big populations are right along the west coast. this is kind of a forecast radar. you see what it is doing here? now throwing that moisture in across southern sections of georgia even up towards atlanta, picking up some rainfall. and across midlands of south carolina and coastal sections ....
Circumventing all of the white house counsel s advice. why wasn t pat cipollone and the doj involved. instead mark recruited outside lawyers who he wanted to listen to. i think that undercuts the notion that this is all part of my federal responsibility if i m not getting counsel from the people hired in your office to serve the white house in that role. in the center of the case is the call with georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger. mark meadows said that call was to get over the roadblock and land the plane on the whole transfer of power to joe biden. what do you make of that explanation? again, i think the vice president at that point was focused more on travelling the country and trying to get states to reopen after much of the threat of covid was behind us. we weren t involved as what s happened in georgia. as i said many times, i think the actions taken were wrong. i don t think there was evidence of fraud or that the georgia election was stolen. to call on raffenspe ....

Ago. former trump chief of staff mark meadows trying to get the election subversion case moved to federal court. joining me is marc short, the former choief of staff to vice president mike pence. thanks for joining us this evening. i want to first ask you about mark meadows testimony. you were the former vice president s chief of staff, so meadows was your counterpart in trump s office. were his actions in georgia part of the job description of a chief of staff? alex, i m not sure that the job description for donald trump s chief of staff fit into the normal chief of staff role. i think it s true that mark was acting at the behest of the president and he deserves the benefit of the doubt. one challenge for him is to say this was all his official capacity. if that was rue, why was he ....
