Thank you. Ms. Divine. Thank you, mr. Maguire, for being here. We appreciate your life of Public Service. My question relates to prior to the transmission on august 26 from the ig to the dni, were there any conversations that you had with the ig prior to august 26 related to this matter . Congresswoman, theres been a lot thats happened in the last several weeks. As far as the timeline is concerned, i think that id like to get back to you and give you a full chronology if i may on the actual timeline of events. That would be very helpful to this committee in terms of, if there were any preliminary conversation, what was discussed and if there was any action taken as a result of those conversations. I want to turn to the complaint itself which is made public for the American Public to read. Let me preface this by saying i greatly appreciate your statement that you believe the whistleblower is operating in
good faith. I think thats very important for americans to hear. But on page one, an
investigation, were the veracity of the allegations in the complaint looked into? there were many references to white house officials. do you know if the ig spoke with those white house officials? do you know if he investigated, again, the truthfulness of these allegations? or was it a preliminary investigation? congresswoman, i d have to defer to the ig to respond to you on that. but i do know although i do not know the identity of the whistle-blower, i do know that michael atkinson had, in fact, discussed this with the whistle-blower and found his complaint to be credible. as far as who else he spoke with, i m unweaware of what wen on into michael atkinson s investigation into this matter. so as of today, the only individual we know the ig spoke with is the complainant, is the author and the whistle-blower? congresswoman, what i m saying is i m unaware who else michael atkinson may have spoken
