355 with Fiona Hill, one in May and one you remember less of in July. And obviously you had other conversations with Lieutenant Colonel Vindman and Tim Morrison.

Were you ever aware of whether there was a separate either individual or individuals at the National Security Council who were providing information to the President on the Ukraine matter outside of ordinary channels?

A I did not hear about it and have no information about that, no.

Q Are you familiar with someone by the name of Kash Patel?

A I am not aware that I've ever met anybody by that name, no.

Q Have you ever heard that name?

A I think Patel is a fairly common South Asian last name.

Q How about Kash?

A I -- less common. I do not -- I cannot imagine -- or I can not recall any time where I was either in the presence of or heard a reference to Kash Patel.

MR. GOLDMAN: Okay. Thank you.

I think we are done. And thank you very much, Mr. Kent, for a long day. Really appreciate it.

And we're adjourned.

[Whereupon, at 7:42 p.m., the interview was concluded.]
