It has been very widely reported that—that, you know, the last thing said in his ear is the thing he'll do. And, so, if I gave you a specific answer, it wouldn't be doing you justice or me justice. My main point of contact with what I'm calling Trump world was Caroline Wren regarding what I consider the scope of the committee, and that's January 6th.

Mr   I would like to note for the record that Mr. Kinzinger has left and that Mr. Schiff has joined the deposition.
