PEARL RIVER, NY — While the Congressional Jan. 6 Committee is unwinding the convoluted story of what happened after the national election of 2021, a key player from those days in the White House will be speaking to Rockland County Republicans.

The county Republican Committee will hold its annual Lincoln Day Dinner at the Pearl River Hilton Thursday. Former White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney will be the keynote speaker.

Mulvaney, who led the Office of Management and Budget in the Trump administration before becoming acting White House Chief of Staff, was the United States Special Envoy for Northern Ireland from March 2020 until he resigned Jan. 7, 2021. He is now an on-air contributor for CBS.
