HELLO, MADAM
Report: Mueller met with Stone pal Davis
Robert Mueller has met the madam.
Kristin Davis, the former madam made famous for her role in the 2008 sex scandal that brought down former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer, sat for a voluntary interview with investigators working for the special counsel's office this week, CNN reported Friday.
A spokeswoman told the Daily News that Davis “had an informal meeting in D.C. on Wednesday.”
Davis, who was dubbed the “Manhattan Madam” and once ran for governor and controller before being busted for selling prescription pills, worked with flamboyant Republican consultant Roger Stone for a decade.
The two are close friends and Stone is the godfather to Davis' son.
Stone, a longtime ally of President Trump, has been a rumored target in Mueller's investigation into Russian election meddling.
Last month, following reports Davis had been subpoenaed by the special counsel's office, Stone told The News that the one-time high end brothel-keeper “has no knowledge of Russian collusion during the 2016 election.”
“She knows nothing about alleged Russian collusion, WikiLeaks collaboration or any other impropriety related to the 2016 election, which I thought was the subject of this probe,” Stone told The News Friday.
Meanwhile, Andrew Miller, who ran Davis' campaign for governor and worked with Stone during the 2016 campaign, was ordered by a judge this week to testify before a Mueller grand jury.
U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Chief Judge Beryl Howell rejected Miller's challenge to a subpoena on the grounds that Mueller's appointment was unconstitutional.
"Multiple statutes authorize the Special Counsel's appointment, and the official who appointed the Special Counsel had power to do so. For these reasons ... the witness's motion to quash the grand jury subpoenas is denied,” Howell wrote in a 93-page opinion signed July 31.
Mueller is reportedly interested in Stone's contacts with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and the Twitter handle “Guccifer 2.0,” which was allegedly used by Kremlinlinked hackers during the 2016 election to share emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee.
