Roger Stone ally Jerome Corsi said Monday that he has received an offer from special counsel Robert Mueller for a plea deal on one count of perjury, but that he plans to reject it.
Corsi, a conspiracy theorist and conservative writer, told CNN that the special counsel “can put me in prison the rest of my life. I am not going to sign a lie.”
The report comes shortly after Corsi said he was in plea deal negotiations with Mueller’s team.

Jerome Corsi tells me that Mueller has offered him a plea deal on one count of perjury, but that he's not going to take it because it would require him to sign a statement saying he knowingly and willfully lied, which he still denies. And much more. Story to come.

what's likely going on: Corsi tried to cooperate with Mueller after being told he would be indicted for making false statements; ultimately Mueller decided Corsi wasn't truthful and did not offer him coop plea deal; w/out benefits of coop agmt, Corsi wants to fight the charge. https://t.co/aWRRgTxSpD
