208 I've seen some media accounts of that, but I did not read the memo.

Okay. And is it the case then that you didn't see that—that memo was never shared with the Department of Justice while you were there, to your knowledge?

No. Not at all.

Okay. Those are all the questions I have.

All right. Let me just look around the room and make sure there's nothing else.

anything else?

Ms. Cheney, are you also—any other questions on your mind before we go off the record?

Ms. Cheney. No. I'm set. Thank you.

Okay. All right.

Well, Mr. Donoghue, I think that concludes it. I know we went beyond—I should never estimate times. I apologize for keeping you longer than expected. But I really appreciate your candor, your patience with us today, your willingness to, yet again, sit down and go through this. It's important to the select committee to get the facts and to talk to people who were at the center of things as you were. So thank you very much for doing this.

The next step is for the court reporter to provide us with a transcript. We will then send that to your attorneys. You will have a chance to look it over and to make any clarifications, corrections to make sure it's accurate. We want to make sure that it accurately captures the questions and answers today. And that should happen here pretty quickly.

And then, again, I'll stay in touch with Greg, with your lawyer, about whether there's anything else we need.
