Conservative columnist, conspiracy theorist, and Roger Stone associate Jerome Corsi is reportedly negotiating a plea deal with special counsel Robert Mueller, according to Corsi himself.
NBC News reports:
Corsi said earlier in November that he feared he’d be indicted for perjury. He has been questioned over his knowledge of WikiLeaks obtaining hacked emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman and said Mueller’s team delivered the news at a meeting in early November.
The news about Corsi’s plea negotiations was first reported by The Washington Post on Friday.
In a Nov. 12 phone interview, Corsi expressed his fear of indictment to NBC News, saying, “This was one of the most confusing and frightening things I’ve experienced. I’m 72 years and I’m afraid they’re going to lock me up and put me in solitary confinement.”
Corsi has links to both ex-Trump aide Roger Stone and Infowars host Alex Jones, and was first subpoenaed by Mueller’s team at the end of August.
Stone maintains his innocence, telling NBC News in a statement, “If Dr. Corsi knew that John Podesta’s emails had been obtained by anyone and would be published, he never shared this information with me nor did he give me any such documents.”
Neither the special counsel’s office nor Corsi’s attorney has commented about Corsi’s statements to Mueller.
