Q Do you know who introduced you to Mr. Levine? A I don't remember. Q Can you characterize your relationship with Mr. Levine? A Socially friends. Q And how long did you have a relationship with Mr. Levine? A I don't remember specifically. He was, again, a friend of the President's and important to him, and we were friends -- we became friends as well. Mr. Grant. And by socially friends, what does that mean? You attended functions together, you saw each other purely at work-type events? What does socially friends mean to you? Mr. Band. Yeah. I mean, I was a young, single, unmarried guy in New York in my late 20s when President Clinton left the White House, and I was friends with Philip. BY MR. HARNICE: Q Can you just approximate when your relationship with Philip Levine started? A I'm sorry. I just don't remember when. Q Well, this is you emailing about saying our favorite person, Mr. Levine. So would you say that he was a close friend at the time of this email? A You know, again, I would characterize him as a friend. As I said about these emails, they were, you know, written a long time ago. Flirtatious, joking, messing around, silly emails. So I don't remember.
