218 I believe so.

All right. Did he ever talk to you about that before January 6th, what his thoughts or what his beliefs were about what was going to happen in terms of that march?

Not to the best of my recollection.

So whether anybody—whether Trump or the White House told him that he was going to be part of that march?

Again, I think this was an idea, as best that I understood it, that originated with Caroline, pinged off me, I said okay, and then was given to Alex and Roger, if it was given to them at all. I could have given—I could have talked to them about it.

That's why we're asking.

Okay. Yeah, I don't know.

We're trying to understand.

Yeah. And I don't know what the play by play of all of that was.

Was it your understanding that Mr. Jones, from what you observed, that on the morning of January 6th thought that he was going to be speaking that day?

Yes.
