produced and to page 86. And this goes back to the conversations that we were that you were describing with Congressman Brooks' staff, I believe. But I'll allow you to add color.

So on December 16th, 2020, after Mr. Ed Martin asked for Congressman Brooks' number, it looks like there—it looks like outgoing. So this is like you say to him, "Mo Brooks number works." And it looks like Mr. Ed Martin says, "Great." And then it looks like you said back, "He sent me this."

Who from Congressman Brooks' staff sent you this?

A I'm unsure, but I'm really happy that we provided this document.

Q We are, too, yeah.

 . I'm sorry. Are you saying that that was a document attached to the text, or you're saying that you're glad you provided the text that has that language in it? Like when you say, "I'm glad we provided this document," you mean the text or—

The Witness. The text message.

  .Okay.

Q Why? What is this text message? "He sent me this." Who is "he"?

A It either would have been Congressman Brooks or his staff.

Q How come we don't see anywhere on December 16th, 2020, in your texts or emails of anyone from Congressman Brooks' staff sending you this message?

A Well, I can say that, like, for example, right now, sitting here, I couldn't tell you the first or the last names of Representative Brooks' staffers that I was on the conference call with and had a substantive conversation with. And so if that evaded our search, then that evaded it. But that we put—that it is, the substance is here, you know, we're happy to provide the actual record when we find it.
