128 Who is Adele (ph)?

Adele (ph) is a Phoenix-based entrepreneur who shared our concerns about election integrity and was organizing there. And I was introduced to him by Congressman Gosar's chief of staff and told he was doing good work on the ground preceding my physical arrival.

How did the individual on Mr. Gosar's staff—or actually who was the individual on Mr. Gosar's staff who introduced you to it looks like Mr. Adele (ph) Belgate (ph)?

I just stated that it was Congressman's chief of staff.

So Mr. Van Flein?

Yes.

I didn't see that in your production. Was it in person, or was it a text message?

On a phone call.

On a phone call?

Yeah.

And what was the nature of this phone call? Why was Mr. Van Flein introducing you to Mr. Belgate (ph)?

Because we were—they were going to host a hearing, I believe, I don't know if this is this date or another one, but my first physical trip out to Arizona—again, I don't know if that's December 19th or not—was to be in support of a legislative hearing of, like, Republican caucus members. And I needed people on the ground to coordinate with, you know, because like, okay, I've got to get picked up from the airport. I need to get signs. I need to encourage bodies there. I need to know, like, what's the situation on the ground.
