the administration. Q Thank you. And, again, we appreciate your public service and agreeing to testify voluntarily. Let's talk about your contact with Epstein, and we appreciate the personal -- or the statement that you made. But let's start from the beginning. When did you first meet Jeffrey Epstein? A I first met Jeffrey Epstein when his staff knocked on our door and invited my wife and I to come next door for coffee to -- he lived in the townhouse adjacent to ours. And then, sometime later, my wife and I went over to his house for coffee. It would be literally 8 or 10 steps next door. Q And who was the staffer that knocked on your door? A Well, I don't know, and I didn't answer the door. I have someone who works for me who answers the door. Q So you were invited. What happened when you showed up at Mr. Epstein's residence? A My best recollection is: We walked next door. Someone answered the door. We went -- we went through his foyer, up a big flight of stairs to his living room, and sat in his living room and had coffee. Mr. Grant. Excuse me. What year was this roughly? Secretary Lutnick. This was 2005. Mr. Grant. Thank you. BY MR. EMMER: Q And you said that you had coffee with him. What were the nature of your conversations with him during this coffee? A I don't recall. Q And approximately how long did this coffee last?
