Ms. Dhillon. Yeah. I understand your question, and it's beyond the scope. . Would it be your view that the 2019 Epstein investigation in its totality is beyond the scope of today's conversation? Ms. Dhillon. The scope of today's transcribed interview is what the former Attorney General sitting next to me did regarding the Epstein transparency files and related matters during her tenure, and that's the scope of it. . So, just sort of in a yes-or-no way, would it be your understanding that, for example, the 2019 Epstein investigation in its totality would be outside the scope of today's conversation? Ms. Dhillon. Yes. . Okay. Would it be your understanding that any Epstein-related fact or question that does not live inside the witness' date range as Attorney General would be outside the scope of today's conversation? Ms. Dhillon. Generally, yes, unless she has personal knowledge that comes from that time, i.e., postdates that time period. . Could you -- because we've had some confusion about this -- just articulate for us and for the record, the link between that objection and the agency's interest? Because our understanding is obviously you're not here as personal counsel. So I would expect to hear something like that from the witness, but why is it coming from you? Ms. Dhillon. Because we want clear testimony coming from the Department of Justice concerning what -- any witness from the Department of Justice, and that is the basis on which this witness is here, concerning her tenure as Attorney General, and so that's the scope that we've agreed to today. . The witness is perfectly capable, it sounds like, of saying she's not sure if she's not sure. So I'm not following why that would be some kind of insurmountable problem.
