MR. SIMPSON: I didn't approach the FBI.

Q Are you aware of anyone who did on Fusion's or Perkins Coie's behalf?

A Beyond Chris Steele?

Q Yes, beyond Chris Steele.

A No.

Q So we appreciate the opportunity to get your voluntary testimony today. We also have sought document production. Are you prepared to voluntarily provide documents that are responsive to the subpoena? Or I am sorry, to our request?

MR. LEVY: You have our response to the subpoena for documents. You also have knowledge that some of our position is now the subject of pending litigation about which we will have a hearing tomorrow.

 : No. Well, let me clarify. We issued a voluntary request, followed by a subpoena. The subpoena has now been lifted. Mr. Simpson is testifying here voluntarily. Having lifted the subpoena, we are now back to the voluntary phase of your testimony. So the question is with respect to the request to Fusion -- or to Mr. Simpson, is he prepared to voluntarily provide documents relevant to this committee's investigation?
