Jonathan Bartlet stands as President Jed Bartlet's brother, a shadowy yet pivotal force thrusting preservation into the heart of his sibling's legacy. He huddles with Neda Wallin, unearthing how the prime presidential library site shatters the Historic Barns and Bridges Preservation Act—the very law Bartlet inked as governor. His fax detonates this irony in the Oval Office, compelling the President to stall ambitions and confront clashing principles. Resourceful kin with deep ties to advocacy networks, Jonathan wields information as leverage, exposing fractures where personal monuments collide with cherished convictions.
