35 sought—the question just seems way too broad. And I'm happy to drill down on any of the specifics around the events that you guys are investigating.

Let's walk through it then. So you stayed at the JW Marriott here in Washington, D.C. Is that correct?

Yes, sir.

You went to The Ellipse the morning of January 6th?

Yes, sir.

Did you go anywhere between—in between going from the JW Marriott to The Ellipse?

I don't believe so.

Okay. So when you arrived at The Ellipse, did anyone let you in? How did you get into the Ellipse?

I provided for the committee maybe 15 or 20 minutes ago my best recollection of how I entered and what was happening at the VIP section, and I'd refer to that.

Did Ms. Wren escort you in, or were you able to still walk through the security?

I do not remember Ms. Wren letting me in. And, again, in my retelling of my best recollection of the story, I had to actually retrieve our badges using my reputation alone. And then I believe I saw Caroline ultimately, you know, 20 or 30 minutes later, after we made it through Secret Service, metal detectors, through the swampy mud fields and then up to the VIP-seated section.

Okay. Did you have a security detail with you on January 6th?

Yes.

Do you recall who was part of your security detail?
