Jerome Corsi, a far-right writer who has ties to Roger Stone, said Monday that he expects to be indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller soon.
Corsi, who was once the Washington bureau chief of right-wing publication Infowars, has testified before a federal grand jury in the special counsel’s investigation into Russian election interference.
“I think I’m the next to get indicted,” he said during a live broadcast of his radio show on YouTube.
Corsi was subpoenaed by Mueller’s team on Aug. 28, he said, when FBI agents showed up “unannounced” at his home.
“A series of discussions” ensued for two months, Corsi explained.
“And at the end of that two months, even though I did everything I could to cooperate, the entire negotiation discussions have just blown up. And now I fully anticipate that in the next few days I will be indicted for some form or other of giving false information,” Corsi said.
He added: “I’m going to be criminally charged.”
In October, NBC reported that Mueller had obtained communications suggesting that he knew in advance that the emails of Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman had been stolen and given to WikiLeaks.
Mueller’s team was investigating whether he passed the information on to Stone, an associate of President Trump.
Stone did not answer multiple text messages from the Washington Examiner.
According to NBC, Mueller’s investigators were reviewing messages sent to Trump’s team in which Corsi and Stone seemed to take credit for the release of the Democratic emails.
Corsi is 72 years old and, on his broadcast, said he feared he would spend the rest of his life in prison. Corsi also asked for donations to his legal defense fund.
Last week, Stone said in an op-ed for the Daily Caller that he was in contact with at least one senior Trump campaign official about an upcoming WikiLeaks release.
Stone maintained in the op-ed — and in text message to the Washington Examiner on Oct. 29 — that he has not been interviewed by a grand jury convened by Mueller or his investigators.
Stone, who worked on the Trump campaign until August 2015, has denied that he collaborated with WikiLeaks and its founder, Julian Assange, in early 2016 to release damaging information on Clinton, the Democratic presidential nominee.
