killed that part of it, they no longer have to make that proof. this is for jacob. jacob, there has been reporting that before you were arrested, you were specifically asked whether the candidate or what party the candidate was whose campaign you were working for. i just want to confirm with you whether or not that actually happened. i think that struck a lot of people around the country as a sort of a shocking part of this, that you were asked what party mr. siegel was before you were arrested. is that true? >> yeah, that accurate. and mr. siegel, mike was on the phone on speakerphone, and he heard the question asked as well. and honestly, that might have been one of the most chilling parts of the entire encounter, because there's like -- i mean, it's pretty clear where someone's coming from when they ask you a question like that. >> yeah. especially when they follow it up by arresting you. >> exactly. exactly. it was a very, very chilling question. and as i said, mike heard it too. so i can definitely confirm that.
