A. I remember hearing about it. I remember Rinat talking about it and maybe others. We were very peripheral to this stuff and I don't remember if I had any specific interactions with it. I don't know if they had an office, I don't know if they had a bank account. I just don't know. I do know they registered to lobby.
Q. Do you know Lanny Wiles, L-A-N-N-Y, W-I-L-E-S?
A. I know him a little bit. I met him originally when I was a journalist. He was introduced to me as a well-connected Republican consultant type and I bumped into him once or twice over the years.
Q. Has Fusion ever worked with him?
A. I don't think so, no.
Q. What did you understand his role to be in the Prevezon-HRAGI work?
A. Again, my understanding of people's roles on — he was involved in the lobbying. He's a lobbyist. He was involved in the lobbying. Beyond that I really couldn't say.
Q. Did you have any involvement with him in the course of your work on the Prevezon?
A. I think we had lunch once.
