MR. SIMPSON: Journalists.
MR. FOSTER: In the summer of 2016?
MR. SIMPSON: Yes.
MR. FOSTER: And they knew that because you were telling them about it?
MR. SIMPSON: We get calls from journalists who are working on stories about all kinds of subjects and some things we can answer questions on and others we don't. I'm a former journalist, as I think you know, and we do lots of different kinds of research and people who are working on a story will call us and say what do you know about, you know, Carter Page and we'll say, well, here's the things that we know.
MR. FOSTER: And they're aware you're being paid to do that research for a client?
MR. SIMPSON: I don't know. Generally that's not an issue.
MR. FOSTER: So my question was who knew that you were doing the research, the Trump-Russia research at the time?
MR. LEVY: He answered the question. He told you he spoke with journalists and told them what he had found.
MR. FOSTER: Right. I was trying to clarify.
