Q. Has Fusion ever worked with him?

A. No, not to my knowledge.

Q. To the best of your knowledge, did he have any role in the Prevezon or Magnitsky work?

A. My knowledge is primarily of the Prevezon case and, to my knowledge, he was not involved in the Prevezon case in any way.

Q. Do you have any reason to believe beyond public reporting that he has ties to the Russian government?

A. I've been told by a source that — actually, I was told by a source that there was some reason to believe he had ties to the Russian government, and he directed me to a newspaper article which said that he had connections to a guy on the West Coast named Boris Goldstein who has been linked historically to Soviet Russian intelligence. Beyond that I don't have any — I don't have any information.

Q. And who was the source that told you that?

A. I'm not going to talk about my source.

Q. I think you've already addressed this a little bit, but do you know Anatoli Samochornov? A-N-A-T-O-L-I, S-A-M-O-C-H-O-R-N-O-V.
