Jerome Corsi, a conspiracy theorist with connections to Roger Stone, has been subpoenaed in special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, Corsi’s lawyer told The New York Times on Wednesday.
Corsi will testify Friday in front of the grand jury in the investigation, according to the Times. His lawyer, David Gray, told the newspaper that he anticipates federal investigators will ask about his client’s connections to Stone, who has long been subject to public scrutiny because of his connections to WikiLeaks and Guccifer 2.0, the hacking persona that Mueller’s team says was a front for Russian intelligence officers.
Stone is a longtime confidant of President Trump.
Gray also told the Times that Corsi will cooperate with investigators.
“He fully intends to comply with the subpoena,” Gray said.
Corsi is expected to testify the same day that Randy Credico, a political satirist and radio host, is scheduled to appear before the grand jury. Stone has said Credico was the intermediary who helped him communicate with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange in 2016.
Corsi has worked for Infowars, the conspiracy site run by Alex Jones. Corsi has promoted conspiracy theories, including one that claimed former President Obama was born outside the United States.
