Trump or others as well in that process?
A My recollection was that from the beginning of the project it was Donald Trump. And if at some point somebody -- so -- and that was my primary if not sole focus for the entirety of the project. I can't speak for whether someone in my company was asked about something else.
Q Okay. So it's possible the Free Beacon also asked your company to conduct research on others that were running for President at the time?
A It's possible. I don't have knowledge of it.
Q Okay. Do you know who would, or would there be any records of it?
A You know, I guess we -- yeah. My partner would be the other person that would get a request like that, but beyond that I don't really know.
Q Your partner again being Mr. --
A Peter Fritsch.
Q -- Fritsch. Are there any records of that? Would there be any records of that, of documenting what you were hired to work on?
A I don't know.
Q Do you know who would know?
A My partner.
Q Peter Fritsch. Okay, thank you.
Switching gears a little bit, going over to you testified earlier that Mr. Steele went to the FBI at a certain point in time, approximately late June 2016. Is that correct?
A Yeah. I think what I said was he raised the issue of going to the FBI with me after the first memo. And I didn't give him an answer or I didn't sign off on that. And then he raised it again a few days later.
