An associate of Roger Stone’s brought a special witness to his federal grand jury testimony in Washington, D.C., Friday.
Randy Credico, a comedian and talk show host, testified about his relationship with Stone, a longtime ally of President Trump’s, with his therapy dog Bianca by his side.
Credico, who was subpoenaed as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation, thanked the Mueller team via an appearance on CNN for allowing him to bring Bianca to court.
“I wasn’t frightened,” he told the network. “I had my dog with me, and I want to thank the Mueller team for allowing my dog to come in.”
Credico said his dog sat under a table for the interview and was not seen by the grand jury.
“I didn’t bring it in as a prop,” he said. “I brought it in in a very discreet bag, and she was under the table.”
Investigators’ questioning predominantly focused on Credico’s relationship with Stone, he said, declining to disclose the substance of the interview. Credico also denied he was a backchannel between Stone and WikiLeaks during the presidential campaign.
