205 So you don't think an issuance of a joint intelligence bulletin by the Bureau or DHS could've—would've impacted the security planning of the Capitol Police?

Again, I'll leave it to others to do the postmortem on this, but I think there was plenty of intelligence, whether it came from FBI, DHS, MPD, or others, as to what we were looking at here. And it wasn't a surprise to anyone that thousands of angry people showed up at the Capitol that afternoon. It certainly wasn't a surprise to the Capitol Police.

I don't have anything else.

Ms. Cheney, do you have anything on—and then I can shift.

Ms. Cheney. Oh, I have some questions on some other issues. Were you all done? I'm happy to go ahead with those or—

I'm done. I'm going to turn it over to at this point or to you, but my portion is finished. Thanks for your time.

Mr. Andres. Please, could we just take—like just give us 1 minute. We don't have to go off camera. Let me just—okay. Sorry. Sorry. Go ahead.

Ms. Cheney, you can go ahead while we do some camera shifting here.

Ms. Cheney. Okay. I'm not sure what topics is covering. Mr. Donoghue, were you aware—did it come to your attention at any time on January 6th or after that there were any discussions going on on the 25th Amendment?

Mr. Donoghue. No. There were no discussions regarding the 25th Amendment, to my knowledge, my entire time in Washington.

Ms. Cheney. And, with respect to the Insurrection Act, between the election and January 20th, were there discussions about the possibility of the President invoking the Insurrection Act that you became aware of?
