100 Inauguration, transition.

Yeah, I understand all that. So you didn't alert anyone. You didn't talk to anybody else outside of the people that were in that room?

Well, right. The people that were alerted were the people who made the decisions. The individual who is in the National Command Authority, the individual who is the highest ranking uniformed military officer in the land, and the individual that is the National Security Advisor to the President of the United States, they were informed and made a decision.

Yeah, well—

I just—go ahead.

No, you go ahead.


 * BY :

I just wanted to be clear that you keep saying that you haven't seen this memo. We haven't seen this memo.

Neither have you.

We—but—and it's clear to you that based on your memory here you've never seen the memo either?

I don't recall ever seeing—I can't recall seeing a memo that describes what you and I have been talking about. I can't recall if you—I don't think it's unfair to ask me a question that says, do you recall seeing a memo that no one can produce?

Do you have any memory of providing it to General Milley?

I do not.

We have—as you know, we've talked to many officials over at DOD, and the memory of DOD officials is that this memo, directive, piece of paper was provided to you and you directly handed it to General Milley.
