I`m not going to comment on which witness those threatening messages were sent to but obviously, if you read them, there`s an intent to dissuade a witness from testifying honestly. So, this is a concern. And I just want people who would try and interfere with a witness, who would coerce them or threatened them to know, that that is not legal. And we do not intend to just sit by and watch that happen. As to witness intimidation, that`s a crime. And individuals who are trying to protect the president are committing a crime. We intend to take the evidence we get of that and not just sit on it. People ought to be aware that committing the crime of witness tampering is a serious matter. And it`s not going to be ignored.
