[19] What they asked for and how many times did you turn them down.
[20] Pretty basic questions.
[21] So again, without having all of the details in front of me, sir, what I can tell you is that there are times...
[22] You didn't get briefed on how many times you turned down the Trump detail when they asked for additional help?
[23] I'm sorry.
[24] You didn't get briefed on that before you came to this hearing knowing you were going to get asked that question?
[25] What I can tell you is it in generic terms.

[29] Has the Secret Service provided this committee a complete list of all law enforcement personnel that were there that day?
[30] Yes or no. I'll have to get back to you on that.
[31] That is a no. Have you provided all audio and video recordings in your possession to this committee?
[32] as we asked on July 15th, yes or no. I would have to get back to you.
[33] That is a no. You're full of shit today.
