Right-wing author Jerome Corsi said he will fight the charge that he lied under oath to special counsel Robert Mueller.
Corsi said Wednesday that he hired Larry Klayman, the founder of Freedom Watch and Judicial Watch, to fight that charge.
“I have retained attorney Larry Klayman to assist David Gray in my defense,” Corsi tweeted. “In a memo to my attorneys, I have instructed Klayman and Gray to file with Acting AG Whitaker a criminal complaint against Mueller’s Special Counsel and the DOJ for prosecutorial misconduct in my case.”

Corsi has refused to enter a plea agreement with Mueller about his alleged role in sharing information with Roger Stone about emails from Hillary Clinton’s campaign manager that were later published by WikiLeaks.
Mueller’s team believes Corsi was aware of those emails beforehand. But Corsi said his inconsistent testimony about the matter was due to faulty memory, and not lies.
