Mr. Okay. And my suggestion and request to the committee is to make that record after the decision is made in Trump v. Thompson, and you'll know where we stand.

But we are not necessarily going to wait for Trump v. Thompson to be resolved before we seek enforcement action, and that's why we need to make the record today.

And, again, I understand that these questions will prompt, according to what you've said thus far, some kind of executive privilege assertion. I want to make sure we understand the basis of that assertion and that you understand and that ultimately a court understands what are the areas that we seek to develop with Mr. Clark.

Again, not meant to be badgering. It's just essentially clarifying our positions and creating a record for others to review thereafter.

So let me just—

Mr. We are not going to participate in that,, and we are concluded, and we are leaving.

So, to be clear, you're refusing to answer any of these questions or even go through and assert privilege question by question—

Mr. Correct.

—based on the representations in the letter and—

Mr. Correct.

—a blanket assertion?

Mr. Correct.

Go ahead, Mr. Clark.
