Summary
This document is a page from a rough draft deposition transcript marked 'HOUSE_OVERSIGHT'. The witness (identified as Professor Cassell) is asked if anyone other than Virginia Roberts had told him, as of December 30, 2014, that Alan Dershowitz abused a minor. The witness denies this. Attorney Mr. Scarola interrupts to clarify the question, asserting that he will not allow the witness to answer regarding information obtained through 'joint representation or common interest privilege' (likely referring to legal team communications), but allows answers regarding outside sources.
