Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, sir, for being here with us today and for answering these questions.
You publicly expressed a desire to appear before this committee to give your input on the issues of foreign interference and the foundation. You said, in fact, that it was “urgent” that you do so. I find it somewhat unusual. We don't typically have people clamouring to come to testify before this committee.
Please explain to us why you thought it was necessary to be here today.
