Stone, a former informal adviser to President TrumpDonald John TrumpBillionaire investor says he’d back primary challenger to Trump: report Trump donates 0,000 from salary to alcoholism research How the government will reopen MORE’s campaign, was indicted on Friday as part of Mueller’s probe.

According to the indictment, Stone obstructed the investigation by the House Intelligence Committee into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election by lying about his contacts with WikiLeaks.

Corsi attorneys Larry Klayman and David Gray acknowledged in a statement on Friday that Corsi is named as “Person 1” in Mueller’s indictment. Stone is accused of trying to prevent “Person 1” from contradicting his false statements to the House committee.

Corsi has indicated he will testify against Stone if subpoenaed. He told CNN he would testify honestly to what he remembered from his communication with Stone, even if Stone claimed differently.

However, Corsi, who brought his attorney to the CNN interview, emphasized that he did not personally communicate with WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential campaign, and said that Mueller found no evidence that he did. Corsi said he previously spent 40 hours voluntarily interviewing with Mueller’s investigative team.

“If I had a contact with WikiLeaks, I think Roger would have leapfrogged me immediately and taken the contact himself,” Corsi told CNN.
