Summary

This document is a page from a rough draft deposition transcript (Bates stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_021858). Attorney Mr. Simpson is questioning a witness about legal agreements existing as of December 30, 2014, specifically regarding a 'common interest privilege' with other attorneys in the 'CVRA case' (Crime Victims' Rights Act). Attorneys Mr. Scarola and Ms. McCawley interject to clarify the scope of the question and assert privilege, with McCawley specifically objecting to revealing information about an agreement (transcribed as 'accountant interest agreement', likely a typo for 'common interest agreement').
