Trump pal to talk to Mueller?

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — A conservative writer and associate of Trump confidant Roger Stone said he’s in plea talks with special counsel Robert Mueller’s team.

Jerome Corsi told The Associated Press Saturday he has been negotiating a potential plea but declined to comment further.

He said on a YouTube show earlier this month that he expected to be charged with lying to federal investigators, though he said at the time that he was innocent of wrongdoing.

Mueller’s team questioned Corsi as part of an investigation into Stone’s connections with WikiLeaks.

U.S. intelligence agencies have assessed that Russia was the source of hacked material released by WikiLeaks during the 2016 election that damaged Hillary Clinton’s campaign.
