Glenn SimpsonPage 118 remember who else was there. But anyway, she sat at the other end of the table from me and, you know, as I said, she doesn't really speak English and I don't speak Russian. So not a lot of chit-chat.

Q. Was it your understanding that the research you provided to Baker Hostetler would then be passed on to Ms. Veselnitskaya?

A. To the extent that it was useful and interesting to her I'm sure they did, yes.

Q. Has she ever said anything to you, presumably via a translator, indicating or implying she had worked with the Russian government?

A. No, but Mark Cymrot told me when he told me of her existence that she was a former prosecutor.

Q. And has she ever said anything to you more specifically indicating or implying that she had worked for Russian intelligence?

A. No.

Q. Do you have any reasons to believe that Ms. Veselnitskaya has ties to the Russian government?

A. I know what I've read in the newspaper.

Q. Beyond that? 1-800-FOR-DEPO
