19 someone is lying to the Vice President, one of your options is to go tell the Vice President, "Someone's lying to you."

Mr. Before interviewing the person who might be doing the lying?

Mr. Sure.

Mr. Sure, I suppose that's an option. I don't think it's one a reasonable investigator would take, but it's an option.

Mr. Did Mr. Flynn have the right to have counsel present during that interview?

Mr. No.

Mr. What was the policy the Bureau followed with other administrations if you wanted to interview an employee of that administration?

Mr. I don't know that there was a policy. My understanding was the normal practice was to coordinate an interview through the White House Counsel's Office.

Mr. Recently -- and I want to make sure I get your words right. Tell me if this fairly captures what you said in response to a question.

Mr. Do you have a page cite?

Mr. No. It's an interview he gave last week.

Mr. Do you have a copy of it?

Mr. No, but I'm happy to -- why don't I ask him if he recognizes it first, and if he wants a copy of it, I'm happy to give him one.
