BY MR. BREITENBACH:
Q Were you asked to research anybody else in Mr. Trump's family?
A Certain -- I mean, you know, I was -- I was asked to research Trump's family broadly in connection with any -- any Russian connections.
Q So broadly, but in terms of actually performing the research, did you begin to break out President Trump's family in terms of Melania Trump, all of his children? Were you doing independent research based off of each family member?
A I did some.
Q On which family members, do you recall, or all of them?
A As I recall, I did some research on all of them, but not in much depth.
BY MR. SOMERS:
Q How about Donald Junior, did you do more in-depth research on Donald Trump Junior than some of the others?
A I am afraid it was relatively superficial. It was --
Q Nothing related to --
A -- time pressure.
Q Nothing related to travels or business dealings he may have had in Europe?
A I looked into some of his travels and, you know, I am not sure how much detail I remember, at this point.
Q Ivanka Trump?
A I looked into some of her travels.
BY MR. BREITENBACH:
Q And what were you trying to find with regard to each of these individuals? What was the purpose of looking into the family members?
A Yeah, to see whether they were involved in dealings and transactions with people who had suspicious pasts, or suspicious types of dealings.
Q Was there indication from Mr. Berkowitz or Mr. Simpson that they had any inside information as to whether there were suspicious connections with any of President Trump's orbit of individuals including his family?
A What do you mean by "inside information"?
Q I would say any information that they specifically gave you, in terms of your employment with Fusion GPS, that would indicate that there were some level of connections with President Trump's family and Russia?
A They would give me leads based on their open-source research and, you know, legal documents and other things.
Q Did they ever indicate that any of their leads were based off of sources of theirs?
A I don't remember get- -- regarding the Trump family, no.
Q Regarding any of the research during this year, 10-, 11-month period, was any -- was any research based off of sources of theirs that you were aware of?
A Yes.
Q And who were the sources?
A I recall a -- they were mentioning someone named Serhiy Leshchenko, a Ukrainian.
Q And did they give you any indication as to Leshchenko's connections with them, how they got to know him? Were they doing work for him?
A With Fusion GPS?
Q Correct.
A I am not aware of how they --
Q Were you aware of how they had a connection with him?
A I am not aware.
Q But you were aware that he was a source of information that was leading to information that they had, that they were then presenting to you as reasons for following up on opposition research or what research --
A Yes.
Q -- that is, on President Trump or his family?
A My understanding is that some -- yes. And -- yes, it was not necessarily on his family that Leshchenko's research was on.
