20 appearance on Steve Bannon's "War Room" podcast on January 2nd, 2021?

No. Fifth.

I'll move on.

Any members have any questions at this point?

Okay.

Dr. Eastman, I'm going to ask you some questions about your involvement in a so-called "war room" at the Trump -- I'm sorry. No.

First, I'm going to ask you about some meetings at both the Trump Hotel and the Willard, the latter of which meaning the Willard, we understand, had a war room.

Did you stay at the Willard Hotel between January 3rd and January 8th, 2021?

Mr. Can I interpose a point of order?

Yes.

Mr. It just occurred to me that on several occasions both the Congressman and yourself have asked questions along the lines of, Dr. Eastman, will you answer any questions about some category of topics, like the podcast, and he said no.

Uh-huh.

Mr. I just want to make clear that that's not meant to be a blanket assertion. If any of the members of the committee or yourself want to ask however many questions as you want about any subject, we're happy to answer them.

Okay. Answer them or invoke privileges?

Mr. Most likely the latter.

Okay. I understand that and I appreciate it. I'm also trying to save some time. So if on any of these topics if I ask a question whether or not he'd be willing to answer, I'm asking would he be willing to answer any of them without invoking the Fifth Amendment. If for any of them he is willing, then I would have a much longer list
