Q Were you ever briefed on the documents underneath that subpoena? A Maybe briefly, after they were released. Our goal was to get as much out publicly that was legally permissible as fast as we could. Q And would the redaction process for those documents be similar to what the Department of Justice was already doing as far as making sure no personal information was getting out there because it was required by law? A Yes. And I believe Stanley Woodward was the one, again, who supervised that release. Q And, in this matter, who at the Department of Justice would've been actually doing those redactions? Staff attorneys? Other attorneys at Main Justice? Someone else? A I believe it was attorneys, multiple attorneys, at the Department of Justice, even some, again, from the National Security Division. And, again, ultimately, attorneys from all over the country were pulled in to help, once we received the millions of pages of documents. But, initially, we did have attorneys from within the Department of Justice and the FBI, I believe, working on those redactions. Q And are you aware of attorneys at the Department of Justice having to undergo any type of training as far as redactions go? A I believe they did. And that would've been supervised by Todd Blanche. Q Was there any criteria for which attorneys get selected to do a redactions process that you're aware of? A I recall we used attorneys from the National Security Division as much as we could, because they have top security clearance, and the goal was to protect the victims' identities. Q And are you aware of why the DOJ only produced 33,000 documents pursuant to this Committee's subpoena? A I believe because that was what they had at the time. And we would have to ask Associate Attorney General Stanley Woodward that question.
