Roger Stone ally and conservative conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi has a joint defense agreement with President Trump.

Trump’s attorney Rudy Giuliani confirmed to The Hill on Wednesday that such an agreement is in place. Under a joint defense agreement, attorneys of different subjects are allowed to share information.

The Daily Beast first confirmed that the agreement is in place, with Giuliani telling the site that he has recently talked about Corsi with the president. He told the news outlet that Trump “vaguely knows” Corsi but “doesn’t remember the last time they spoke.”

The Daily Caller first reported this week that Corsi detailed the information-sharing agreement in an upcoming book.

Corsi told The Hill in an interview that he believed the joint defense agreement was “one way,” adding that his attorney, David Gray, only shared information about Corsi’s case with Trump attorney Jay Sekulow, and Sekulow did not pass on information about the president or other cases.

“The discussions were between Jay Sekulow and David Gray, my attorney, and they were entirely lawyer-to-lawyer,” Corsi said. “I never participated in any of the conversations.”

He also said he believed there was no discussion of a pardon from the president during those conversations, and that he would not be pursuing a pardon from Trump.
