71 What time period?

On January 6th or in the days following.

I don't recall any discussions about the 25th Amendment.

Before I move on to kind of the transition issues and post-January 6th, are there any questions?

Again, listen to the question: During the day, do you remember any discussion with anyone about whether or not it would be useful for the President to issue some kind of statement discouraging violence?

I don't remember that. On January 6th I don't remember that.

You don't remember anybody ever raising that as a possibility or as something that might help?

It might've happened. I just don't remember it.

Today, again, no recollection that anyone raised that?

I don't have an independent memory of that.
