22 Fifth.

Just so I understand, Dr. Eastman, with regard to the question of whether you had any conversations with President Donald Trump while at the Willard Hotel war room, you're invoking the Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination?

Fifth Amendment right not to be compelled to be a witness against myself.

All right. Before I move on to some of the legal memoranda you wrote, I'll pause to see if anybody has any other questions.

Nope?

Okay.

Dr. Eastman, I'm going to ask you about a couple of legal memoranda that, I believe, don't have your name on them, but have been in public reports attributed to you.

If you could look at exhibit 14 in your binder. There is a two-page memorandum. And just for ease of reference, I may refer to this as the two-page memorandum to distinguish it from another memorandum that I believe you wrote later.

Dr. Eastman, did you write this two-page memorandum?

Just so I understand, Dr. Eastman, you're invoking your Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination with regard to whether you are the author of this legal memorandum?

Dr. Eastman, did you discuss this memo with Jenna Ellis?
