We're excited to announce that Lawfare will be hosting a screening of the documentary Icarus on October 19 at the Brookings Institution.  Director Bryan Fogel, producer Dan Cogan, Brookings President Strobe Talbott, and the Atlantic's Julia Ioffe will join Benjamin Wittes for a panel discussion following the screening. Join us for What 'Icarus' tells us about Russia's meddling in international affairs: A film screening & discussion: 

Join Lawfare and Foreign Policy for drinks and conversation with two former White House counsels on the task of lawyering for and against the Trump administration.

As Lawfare readers are likely aware, two important events will be taking place at 2:30pm Eastern time this afternoon: first, a hearing by the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on Crime and Terrorism featuring much-anticipated testimony by former Acting Attorney General Sally Yates and former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper; and second, oral argument in International Refugee Assistance Project v. Trump, a travel ban case before the U.S.

Today, the Brookings Institution is hosting a forum on President Trump's first 100 days in office. The first panel discussion, on national security issues, will feature Lawfare's Benjamin Wittes and Susan Hennessey along with Leon Wieseltier in a conversation moderated by Shane Harris of the Wall Street Journal. A livestream of the event is available below.
