Summary
This document is page 42 of a rough draft deposition transcript, likely from a House Oversight investigation. Attorney Mr. Simpson asks a witness if they knew of anyone (as of Dec 30, 2014) who could testify that Alan Dershowitz abused a minor. Attorney Mr. Scarola objects and instructs the witness not to answer, asserting that even the names of potential witnesses are protected under attorney-client and common interest privilege if that information was communicated confidentially.
