The agent is barely audible over the line. The general contours of his testimony are clear, but exact quotes may be difficult to hear.
I did not catch his name.
Reaching out to court personnel to see if that line can be muted.

E. Jean Carroll goes to court against outgoing Pres. Trump this morning, in a lawsuit accusing the lame duck of defaming her by denying that he raped her.
Trump wants to pause proceedings to appeal the ruling kicking DOJ out, but for now, it's still on.
Today is an initial telephone conference following Judge Kaplan's ruling that the DOJ can't represent Trump and ordering his personal lawyer Marc Kasowitz back on the docket.
Kasowitz's latest filing from last night: https://t.co/tsTqJanOVe

.@EJeanCarroll's lawyer @KaplanRobbie is now on the line.

The Manatee-Sarasota area has many connections to the horrific scene of insurrection in Washington DC yesterday. Want to see? Buckle up for this thread: /1
The Manatee GOP expressed support for Josh Hawley’s objections to certification of the electoral college vote. /2
Josh Hawley’s home-state newspaper says Hawley has blood on his hands for a “Capitol coup attempt.” This is who the Manatee GOP cheered on.
Florida GOP Vice Chair & Sarasota County Commissioner Christian Ziegler was at the protest, as described in this @HeraldTribune article.
The protest was led by the same people connected to Ziegler who were filming outside the Vern Buchanan town hall at the Van Wezel in Sarasota in 2017, namely Dustin Stockton. Stockton was also part of Steve Bannon's border wall group. /5

In 2018, Obama-era Attorney General Eric Holder was speaking to a group of Georgia Democrats about GOP voter suppression. He riffed on Michelle Obama's "When they go low, we go high" line from the 2016 DNC.
