Special counsel Robert Mueller is taking a look into late-night phone calls between President Trump and his former campaign adviser Roger Stone that were made in 2016, The Washington Post reported late Wednesday.
Trump and Stone spoke in a “series” of phone calls during the campaign, people familiar with the phone records told the Post.
Mueller’s interest in the calls comes as he probes whether Stone coordinated between the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks while WikiLeaks was publishing hacked Democratic emails.
Earlier this week, Jerome Corsi, a right-wing conspiracy theorist and Stone associate, provided a number of news organizations with charging documents from the special counsel that showed he told Stone in emails that WikiLeaks was planning a release of damaging documents.
One of those emails came on Aug. 2, 2016, the day before Stone had a phone call with Trump, according to the Post.
Stone told the newspaper that the WikiLeaks dump was not a subject he discussed on that phone call.
