Q. Do you know Natalia Veselnitskaya?

A. Yes.

Q. When did you first interact with Ms. Veselnitskaya?

A. I believe it was sometime in 2014.

Q. Has Fusion ever worked with Ms. Veselnitskaya?

A. Didn't I just answer that? Yes. I mean, she was the lawyer, the Russian lawyer who retained Baker Hostetler who retained us. So when you say "worked with," I don't know that as a technical meaning, but we interacted with her as part of the Prevezon litigation.
