14 A. I don't believe -- I don't know.
15 Q. You don't know?
16 A. I don't know.
Page 74 Going back to the sentence where you've indicated in an October 28th, 2017 e-mail that: "Also, I had a call last night from someone very, very senior I know at Blackstone -- close quote, was that a telephone call? Yes
Page 74-75
23 Q. Okay. And without telling me the person's

Pg 83
6 THE WITNESS: Let me reiterate,
7 counsel. My son did not at any time discuss
8 anything with me involving Card Connect,
9 Blackstone. My brother didn't. And I would
10 never -- I want to protect my source, but I did
11 have someone that I spoke to once in a while, a
12 very senior person. So I don't want to
13 disclose any information which could be
14 misconstrued.
These are the key details, word-for-word, from the filed exhibits. There's no summarization, just the raw material.
