A On advice of counsel, I will avail myself of my Fifth Amendment rights and respectfully decline to answer your question.

Q Are you aware that that phrase was taken on and used by an individual named Ali Alexander in response to the 2020 Presidential election?

A Yet again, I assert my Fifth Amendment right.

Q Do you know Mr. Alexander?

A Yet again, I respectfully decline to answer your question on the basis of my Fifth Amendment constitutional protections.

Q During the 2020 Presidential election, did Ali Alexander talk to you regarding his use of the phrase "Stop the Steal"?

A With all due respect, I once again invoke my Fifth Amendment right to decline to answer your question.

Q Well, the select committee would like to ask you about your conversations with Mr. Alexander regarding his and your use of the phrase "Stop the Steal" and, in particular, your interactions and conversations with him following the 2020 Presidential election, including whether you gave assistance to him or other individuals in regard to the "Stop the Steal" campaign.

Is it your intention to assert the Fifth Amendment privilege to all questions that we would ask about those communications or others regarding the so-called "Stop the Steal" movement and Mr. Alexander?

A With all due respect, I yet again assert my Fifth Amendment right to decline to answer your question.

Q And, to be clear, are you asserting that Fifth Amendment privilege in response to those questions because you have a good-faith belief that the answers could expose you to potential criminal prosecution?
