advisers to the President extends in many directions. We understand that's disputed by the committee, and it's a particular application. But pending the resolution of the Trump v. Thompson case, we're not willing to answer any questions of that nature until we know exactly where the line is.
Ms. Cheney. And I'd like to also know when, Mr. Clark, you became engaged in the debates about the Georgia election procedure?
Mr. MacDougald. Same objection.
Ms. Cheney. I'm sorry. Could you please state that for the record?
Mr. MacDougald. Same objection, Congressman—Representative. I called you a Congressman a minute ago. I apologize.
Ms. Cheney. So what objection is that? You're claiming executive privilege with respect to your knowledge about Georgia election procedures?
Mr. MacDougald. You're talking about me or Mr. Clark?
Ms. Cheney. I'm talking about Mr. Clark, your client.
Mr. MacDougald. We assert privileges in the letter that cover that, Representative.
Ms. Cheney. Did you have any interaction with any other Members of Congress?
Mr. MacDougald. Same objection, respectfully.
Ms. Cheney. And in terms of your assertions about Dominion voting machines and smart thermostats, could you explain where you got that information?
Mr. MacDougald. Same objection, respectfully.
Ms. Cheney. So I just want to be clear that I want the record to show that Mr. Clark is refusing to answer any questions, including those questions that have nothing ta do with any of his interaction with the President, questions that couldn't conceivably be covered by any assertion of executive privilege.
