Hey I spoke to 
and 
about this, but just to keep everyone in the loop, I did talk to Jeff on Sunday and did 
(what I thought was) a fairly standard witness / subject / target distinction, noting we didn't have sufficient information to 
put him into the witness or target boxes, and that we didn't currently intend to subpoena him or request to speak with 
him based on the investigation at this time. So I didn't specifically say he was a subject, but I noted the three categories 
and said we didn't have enough information for witness or target. I also said that there weren't specific allegations that 
we need to hear his side of at this time, and I think my intended point was conveyed, which was that we weren't currently 
asking for anything from him—not that there are no allegations at all, which obviously there are, publicly. I did not say 
that there is no allegation that the government is actively investigating; I just would never say to an attorney what we are 
or aren't investigating. In any event, my contemporaneous notes are attached, I typed and sent them less than ten 
minutes after our conversation, which lasted all of four minutes. I'm really sorry for any difficulties this causes us. 
After talking with 
about it, I also just spoke to Jeff and expressed my view that the statement does not fully 
accurately reflect our conversation, and that our press office could respond to questions about it or he could clarify, and 
he said he would get back to me with how he proposed to address the discrepancies.
