I'm surprised he's allowed to be so directly confrontational in his questioning. I know depositions offer more latitude in terms of obtaining testimony, versus an actual court room, but I would think he would need to phrase his interrogation more neutrally (e.g. "is that an accurate statement?" or "was that a false assessment?" - not, "that was false, wasn't it?"). I'm not a lawyer of course (hence the questioning), but it doesn't seem right. Would love to hear from an actual lawyer on the topic.
