You may not fully have a recollection of things that happened years ago, but I am going to just refresh your memory. On June 23, 2020, there was a meeting scheduled from 8 a.m. to 9:15 a.m. with you and Dominic Barton. It was not an informal meeting. I'm going to actually read from the memo scheduling it.
The memo from Zak Cutler at McKinsey to Annie Ropar at the bank, dated June 17, 2020, is to set up that meeting involving Dominic Barton, whom they call “Dom”:
Dom's calendar has been pretty tight, so [it] looks like this is the only time we could get him. Given he's by himself, we're hoping to limit attendance to a few people. Could we hold attendance at just you and John for this one? It's a bit delicate and [I] don't want to offend, but want to make sure Dom is able to speak freely. Let me know if any issues.
You and Dom were pretty close—weren't you?
