Q Who is Adele (ph)?

A Adele (ph) is a Phoenix-based entrepreneur who shared our concerns about election integrity and was organizing there. And I was introduced to him by Congressman Gosar's chief of staff and told he was doing good work on the ground preceding my physical arrival.

Q How did the individual on Mr. Gosar's staff—or actually who was the individual on Mr. Gosar's staff who introduced you to it looks like Mr. Adele (ph) Belgate (ph)?

A I just stated that it was Congressman's chief of staff.

Q So Mr. Van Flein?

A Yes.

Q I didn't see that in your production. Was it in person, or was it a text message?

A On a phone call.

Q On a phone call?

A Yeah.

Q And what was the nature of this phone call? Why was Mr. Van Flein introducing you to Mr. Belgate (ph)?

A Because we were—they were going to host a hearing, I believe, I don't know if this is this date or another one, but my first physical trip out to Arizona—again, I don't know if that's December 19th or not—was to be in support of a legislative hearing of, like, Republican caucus members. And I needed people on the ground to coordinate with, you know, because like, okay, I've got to get picked up from the airport. I need to get signs. I need to encourage bodies there. I need to know, like, what's the situation on the ground.
