Attorney's Office in September -- September 2007. Among other things, that agreement bound the United States not to, quote, "institute any criminal charges against any potential coconspirators of Epstein," unquote. Are you familiar with that agreement? Mr. O'Callaghan. So, hold on. Excuse me. Attorney General Barr was under subpoena, and the scope of the cover letter was about the investigation by the Department of Justice into Epstein and Maxwell while he was Attorney General. You're asking about information that he was not Attorney General, and so I think it's beyond the scope of what the subpoena called for. I don't think I would agree with that scope, and I think the proceedings here today are focused on the DOJ's investigation concerning Mr. Epstein generally. And the question I'm asking now goes to Mr. Barr's perspective based on his experience as Attorney General. Mr. O'Callaghan. Which time? Which time? Well, experience as Attorney General both times. BY : Q Just based on your professional perspective, sir. Have you seen a provision in a plea agreement that bound the United States not to pursue coconspirators that were unknown at the time the agreement was entered into? A I don't recall having any inside information or information that wasn't publicly available about those events about the investigation in Florida and its ultimate -- and the ultimate plea agreement. To the best of my recollection, I knew what I saw in the papers. I remember at the time having a reaction -- looking at -- because there was a hubbub about it. I remember looking at -- or thinking about and delving a little bit into it and -- but that happened before I was Attorney General the second time.
