00:00President tweeted on Friday after I got fired that I better hope there's not
00:04tapes. I woke up in the middle of the night on Monday night because it didn't
00:08dawn on me originally that there might be corroboration for our conversation.
00:12There might be a tape and my judgment was I needed to get that out into the
00:15public square and so I asked a friend of mine to share the content of the memo
00:20with a reporter. Didn't do it myself for a variety of reasons but I asked him to
00:24because I thought that might prompt the appointment of a special counsel and so
00:28I asked a close friend of mine to do it. And was that Mr. Wittes? No, no. Who was that? A good
00:35friend of mine who's a professor at Columbia Law School.
