BEKESHA: 10:06:43 5 Q Good morning, Mr. Mull. My name is 10:06:43 6 Michael Bekesha. I'm an attorney with Judicial 10:06:45 7 Watch. I'm here to ask you a few questions about 10:06:48 8 one of Judicial Watch's Freedom of Information Act 10:06:51 9 lawsuits against the Department of State, 10:06:54 10 specifically questions surrounding the creation, 10:06:56 11 purpose, and use of the Clintonemail.com system by 10:06:59 12 then Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and Huma 10:06:59 13 Abedin, to conduct official government business. 10:07:02 14 Before we begin, could you please state 10:07:05 15 and spell your name, for the record. 10:07:07 16 A Sure. It is Stephen, S-T-E-P-H-E-N, Mull, 10:07:09 17 M-U-L-L. 10:07:13 18 Q Thank you. Also, before we begin, I would 10:07:15 19 like to go over a few ground rules. Your counsel 10:07:17 20 may have already talked to you about them, but it 10:07:19 21 will hopefully help the deposition go more smoothly. 10:07:21 22 If you don't hear one of my questions or 10:07:24 PLANET DEPOS 888.433.3767 | WWW.PLANETDEPOS.COM Videotaped Deposition of Stephen D. Mull Conducted on June 3, 2016 10 1 don't understand one of my questions, please let me 10:07:26 2 know. Happy to repeat the question or rephrase the 10:07:29 3 question. 10:07:31 4 Also, it's important that you respond out 10:07:32 5 loud. If you shake your hand -- head or make any 10:07:34 6 hand gestures, the court reporter can't record that. 10:07:37 7 Also, things will go a lot more smoothly 10:07:40 8 if you wait until I'm done answering the questions 10:07:43 9 or your counsel is done objecting. It's a lot 10:07:45 10 easier for the court reporter to record if we're not 10:07:47 11 speaking over each other. 10:07:50 12 With that, could you just give me a brief 10:07:52 13 background about your tenure at the State 10:07:55 14 Department? 10:07:57 15 A Yes. I'm a Foreign Service Officer since 10:07:57 16 1982. I have served a variety of overseas posts and 10:08:00 17 domestic assignments.

    Iran Nuclear Agreement

    Iran Nuclear Agreement (name redacted) Specialist in Middle Eastern Affairs (name redacted) Analyst in Nonproliferation October 4, 2016 Congressional Research Service 7-.... www.crs.gov R43333 Iran Nuclear Agreement Summary On July 14, 2015, Iran and the six powers that negotiated with Iran about its nuclear program since 2006 (the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Russia, China, and Germany— collectively known as the P5+1) finalized a Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA). The JCPOA is intended to ensure that Iran’s nuclear program can be used for purely peaceful purposes, in exchange for a broad lifting of U.S., European Union (EU), and United Nations (U.N.) sanctions on Iran. The JCPOA largely reflects what was agreed in an April 2, 2015, framework for the accord. The agreement replaces a Joint Plan of Action (JPA) interim nuclear accord in operation since January 2014. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and U.S. officials have indicated Iran is abiding by its commitments to the JCPOA. A resolution of disapproval of the JCPOA was not enacted by Congress by the deadline of September 17, 2015, set by the Iran Nuclear Agreement Review Act (P.L. 114-17). Iran’s legislature approved the agreement and the JCPOA formally took effect on “Adoption Day” (October 18, 2015), the date stipulated by the JCPOA as 90 days after passage of Resolution 2231 on July 20, 2015. On Adoption Day, the Administration issued provisional waivers for U.S. sanctions laws. Those waivers took effect—along with the revocation of some sanctions imposed by executive order—when the IAEA certified that Iran had complied with the initial set of nuclear-related requirements, and “Implementation Day” was declared by the P5+1 on January 16, 2016.
