Summary
This document is page 14 of a rough draft deposition transcript from a House Oversight investigation. Mr. Simpson is questioning a witness, initially instructing them to look at the camera for the benefit of a future jury, a point clarified by the witness's counsel, Mr. Scarola. The questioning then pivots to the 'scope of investigation,' specifically asking if serious misconduct allegations require more investigation than lesser allegations, to which the witness agrees.
