attend, because he did not want to meet with Jeff Clark alone.
Yeah.
Mr. Donoghue. We went up to the SCIF. We locked up our phones outside. We went into one of the conference rooms. It was just the three of us. We had a discussion. Jeff Clark again stated that the President had offered him the position and he was thinking about what to do.
I asked him at the outset of that meeting, did you get your DNI briefing? Because I wanted to follow up and make sure that he'd gotten the things he requested and nail down what the results were. So he said, yes, that he had gotten the DNI briefing, and he acknowledged that there was nothing in that briefing that would have supported his earlier suspicion about foreign involvement.
And we then had a discussion about whether or not there were any other allegations that would warrant Department action. And basically what Jeff was saying was, despite the fact that the intelligence community did not support his suspicions, he still felt strongly that we should be sending a letter out to Georgia and the other swing States. And then we had a discussion along those lines.

Q Yeah. There's discussion about the allegations about the trucker in Georgia and whether or not he had called the U.S. attorney down there? Is that right, Mr. Clark—I mean, Mr. Donoghue? You asked Mr. Clark about contact with Pak?
A Yes, I did.
I'm just trying to find my notes from that meeting. I think there's an exhibit here.
Q I actually don't think we have any notes from this meeting with Clark.
A I guess I—yeah, I don't see them here. I thought there were notes.
