Attorney argues witness testimony authenticity in House Oversight hearing

10 id. 12 13 14 L5 16 ne) 18 life) 20 21 22 23 24 25 122 H3vlgiu2 MS. McCAWLEY: Whether she knew about it. That's not for the truth of the matter, your Honor. That's what she knew at the time, right, she made the statement, did she know about all these individuals in the police report, did she know about this. So that can be offered not for the truth but to show whether she knew about it. Whether she knew that at the time she was making that statement, it was false, because not only did my client get abused there but so many other girls as well. So, your Honor, that's part of it. And in your order, in your June 20th order, you said -- THE COURT: Excuse me. MS. McCAWLEY: Sure: THI Gl COURT: You say the detective authenticated these documents. He didn't authenticate them in the sense of saying that these are part of the file. I mean, it's not that kind of an authentication. MS. McCAWLEY: It is, your Honor. There are two different things, and I'm jumping around a little bit, so that's my fault. I'm sorry. But there are a series of questions -- and I believe it's in our brief but it's also in our designations where we walked through with him how he conducted the investigation, how he recorded the information of these witnesses, the interviews of the witnesses, the fact that they were reported in this document, etc., in his testimony. So that's one piece. And that's why this could come in under SOUTHERN DISTRICT REPORTERS, P.C. (212) 805-0300 HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_011425
