This afternoon, I called both Tejal Shaw (SEC) and Brian Blais (US Attorney's Office) to see if they needed any additional information from us. Tejal appreciated the follow-up letter/information/docs we provided and said that the SEC "doesn't need anything further at this time." When pressed as to the status of the SEC's investigation with respect to Hunter, Tejal (predictably) wouldn't provide any additional information except to reiterate that "they need nothing further at this time."

Same with Brian Blais at the US Attorney's Office: "we don't need any additional information at this point." Asked whether his characterization of Hunter as a fact witness still held, Blais said "that characterization remains the same and has not changed, and we need nothing further at this time."

To me this tacitly confirms that the SEC/US Attorney's Office have no immediate or short term expectation of an in-person interview, which is a positive development.
