Did you testify to witnessing the President of the United States declassifying documents? Senator, what I testified to is best captured by that transcript in real time. So you're not willing to tell Congress, after making many pledges today about transparency, whether or not you testified to witnessing the President of the United States to classify documents. In the name of all the values you have said today, did you or did you not testify to witnessing the President of the United States to classify documents? I testified accordingly and under oath and I encourage you to get that transferred. And by the law of our land, you are free to tell people what are you hiding from Congress? Answer the question, did you testify to witnessing the President of the United States Declassifying documents, yes or no? Senator, the grand jury testimony is available to you. I encourage you to make it public.
