Q Do you recall what time the hearing was?

A No. I believe it was in the morning.

Q And this is the morning of June 9th?

A I think it was -- according to what what's been reported in the papers, if the Trump Tower meeting was on June 9th, yes, it was the same day. And yeah, it was a sort of obligatory event for me. I was part of the litigation team and, you know, former Attorney General Mukasey was arguing for the Prevezon side, and so we were all there.

Q And what conversations did you have, if any, with Ms. Veselnitskaya while you were attending this hearing?

A Mrs. Veselnitskaya did not speak much English. And so my conversations with her, every time I met her, were pretty limited. And I don't remember having any conversation other than pleasantries.

Q And following the hearing, where did you go after that?

A I had one other event that I know of was I was trying to help the law firm find a PR firm to handle trial PR. And I met with Weber Schandwick I think, is the PR firm. These trips to New York sort of blur in my mind: I may have had another meeting with another PR firm as well. I just don't remember. But in any case, the only thing I remember,is one meeting with a PR firm at a hotel somewhere, and then it was my son's high school graduation. It was an event for my son's high school graduation, so I went to the train station and came home.

Q On June 9th?

A That's my recollection.

Q So were you anywhere with Ms. Veselnitskaya that day after the court hearing?
