>>>EO mandates that the DNI – currently John Ratcliffe – produce a report on foreign intervention in the 2020 election within 45 days of the election. This equates to December 18.<<<

"Within" 45 days. AS Q has said. everything has meaning. Former law fag here. The use of the word "within" means at any time during the 45 day limit. It doesn't mean exactly 45 days, so the point about the 18th is irrelevant.
