[3:46 p.m.]

Mr. Donoghue. I don't specifically recall. I don't think so. But I know the SIOC was operational at some point over the summer when there was unrest in D.C.

BY  

Q I want to move on to the 5 o'clock call with DOD, and your notes on that call is exhibit 38.

A Okay. I have it.

Q So again on this call, it's DHS, DOJ, NSC. Do you remember who, in particular, attended from those agencies?

A From DOD, I do recall General Milley being on and Secretary Miller. I don't recall specifically who was there from the other components, or who else might have been there from DOD.

Q You have a note in about the fourth or fifth line. It states RMVE and Antifa. Do you remember what prompted you to take those two notes down?

A Not specifically. Obviously, these were mentioned. It's RMVE, Racially Motivated Violent Extremists, and Antifa.

We were at this point still very concerned that we were going to have large groups of political factions that were in opposition to each other.

So getting back to our original concern that we were going to have sort of street brawls and violence across D.C., that was still there. Even though, the intelligence was telling us that it was less likely, we were still very much concerned that we were going to have city-wide violence with political factions who oppose one another.

So I think that's probably a reference to, on the one hand, you're going to have potentially RMVEs, on the other hand, you're going to have these Antifa guys, and they're
