“Yes.”

“Did you ask him to testify against the law?”

“I’m afraid that is something I do not have. I was decluttering my home a few years back, and I must have

“And do you have evidence transferring government funds to Helena Tanner?”

“I’m afraid not. The transfer was done discreetly so there aren’t any documents to prove it.”
