14 way of getting from one physical location to another is to walk over, and so that's that.

So just to confirm, you were going to attend the Ellipse, and the attendees and you were going to walk over to the Capitol Grounds following it?

Or use a golf cart.

Or use a golf cart?

Yes.

But travel, travel from the Ellipse to the Capital Grounds?

Yeah. I mean, I didn't have access to any other means of transporting myself, to my knowledge.

So I want to go back to something you said a little earlier, I guess on the Sth, you believed you were going to be a speaker at the Ellipse on January 6th?

Absolutely.

And why did you think that you were going to be a speaker at the Ellipse event?

I think my text messages and email correspondences that I have provided to the committee represent—unfortunately, I'm watching it be debated in the press and on Twitter, but contemporaneously it wasn't a debate. I'm talking with a Trump campaign staffer, the representations that are being made to me are contemporaneously being proven true. There was some suspicion among some of my associates that, no, no, no, we're being played. But that's not—I didn't see any evidence of that. And I had heard that there was some people who didn't want me to speak, but that's not the representation from the Trump campaign official that I got. And so, I can attest that my text messages, my emails, and the fact that I showed up that early attests to the fact that I, 100 percent, believed, you know—again, I'm recalling something 11 months later, but that I was the speaker at this event.
