Q Okay.

A And I know that probably ticked him off.

Q So the last time you've actually spoken to Dan Scavino was in 2019.

A I believe so.

Q Did you have his number in your phone?

A No, I don't have his number that I recall.

Q All right. And Arthur Schwartz, is that someone you know?

A I've had a few more interactions with Arthur Schwartz.

Q Did you communicate with him at all about January 6th?

A No, I don't believe so.

Q So when you say you went out of your way to stay away from the White House, did you have anyone in the White House who could have invited you in to come by at that time?

A No, I mean, no. It would be like the broader—no.

Q Was it your perception that President Trump knew who you were?
