13 against self-incrimination with regard to any other questions that I would ask regarding whether you reached out to State legislators regarding the 2020 election?

Mr. If I may, Dr. Eastman will probably assert the Fifth in response to that question, but from my perspective as counsel the answer is yes.

Okay. And Ms. Lofgren, I believe, has joined us. And we're going to need to take just a very short break, and we'll go off the record.

[Discussion off the record.]

I think we just need to hear from Dr. Eastman the invocation of the Fifth that counsel just made.

The Yes. I'm taking advice of counsel and invoking the Fifth.

Okay. We'll take a 5-minute break and then we'll come back on the record. And I'll just remind you that the camera is still rolling. If you want to talk privately, you can use that room. I think we need to speak amongst each other also. So 5 minutes.

[Recess.]

Okay. We'll go back on the record.

I believe Mr. Kinzinger has joined us. So I believe we have Vice Chair Cheney, Mr. Raskin, Ms. Lofgren, and Mr. Kinzinger on.

Dr. Eastman, if you could turn your attention to exhibit 7 in your binder, which has a cover memo dated December 14th, 2020. If you turn to the next page, it's a document entitled, "Certificate of the votes of the 2020 electors from Arizona."

Dr. Eastman, have you seen that document before?

Fifth.

Dr. Eastman, did you have any role in drafting that document?
