Well, here's what we do know. We do know that in real time, immediately after that live testimony, Tony Ornato, who was the Secret Service detailee, I think he was working the chief of staff's office.

You are absolutely entitled to testify to all of those things.

I had been very publicly fired because I was a Trump lawyer and she had put out very publicly, I want to testify. I don't feel comfortable having this Trump lawyer. All fair.
