spokesperson saying he had not asked for immunity before the house intelligence committee, it seemed at odds with your repo reporting but also the lawyer's statement. when you read the lawyer's statement closer, it basically, it doesn't use the term "immu "immunity." the lawyer does say they have had talks with the house intelligence committee. it's really maybe a question of semant semantics. >> it may be a question of semant semantics. if you look at the lawyer's statements and discussions with various sources he is seeking immu immunity. what he's asking for is to be able to cooperate and deliver testimony in exchange for not being prosecuted in some way because of something that he were to say or something that may arise in that. everyone's kind of parsing words here but certainly his lawyer, as his lawyer says in the statement, has discussed this with the house committee.
