48 was aware of and what we had done than the Acting Attorney General did. So he often relied on me to provide that information to him at least, if not the President.

And, again, just to remind you, our general approach with regard to these things was to say, you know, "Yes, sir, we're aware of that. Thank you." If there was an instance, as there was here, where he, the President, raised something we were not aware of, we would say, "Okay. We're not aware of that, but thank you," and do whatever we deemed appropriate with it.

Yeah.

What I'd like you to do—I appreciate that, Mr. Donoghue. I'd like you to just sort of walk us through your notes, using them—sort of read them to us and tell us, if you can, more about the discussion that's reflected in those notes.

Okay.

So it's 12/27/20. It says, "DAG call." I refer to Jeff Rosen as the "DAG" through most of my notes and emails even while he was the Acting Attorney General.

It says, "DAG call—on with POTUS and wants to conference me in."

"P"—which means "President"—"Country is up in arms over the corruption."

"Scott Perry"—I have a parenthetical that says "PA," Pennsylvania—"and Senator from Pennsylvania, Greg Mastriano—some of the"—I'm sorry, I can't make out that word—something "calling."

Uh-huh.

"205,000 votes—more than they have voters in Pennsylvania."

"Flooded the market with ballots."

"600,000 votes added—570,000 votes for Biden, few for me, and lots of blanks."

"0332"—hours in the morning—"flooded the market, multiple States, all at once."
