Special counsel Robert Mueller’s team has been asking former Trump campaign chairman Paul Manafort about his former business partner Roger Stone, according to ABC News

Mueller in recent months has interviewed multiple people linked to Stone, a former Trump campaign adviser. Some of those people have also testified before the grand jury. 

“I am highly confident Mr. Manafort is aware of no wrong doing on my part during the 2016 campaign, or at any other time, and therefore there is no wrongdoing to know about,” Stone told ABC News. “Narratives to the contrary by some in the media are false and defamatory.”

Manafort and his lawyers have visited Mueller’s office at least nine times in the last four weeks, CNN reported on Wednesday.

Mueller is reportedly investigating whether Stone knew ahead of time that WikiLeaks was planning to release Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton’s emails, which were stolen by Russian hackers, ABC News reported.
