Randy Credico, the radio host and comedian Trump ally Roger Stone claims was his intermediary with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, expects to be subpoenaed by special counsel Robert Mueller, according to a report.
Credico told fellow radio host Jimmy Dore on Sunday that he refused to grant Mueller a voluntary interview earlier in June, but CNN reported on Monday he believes a subpoena could be imminent.
“I don’t have a subpoena. If I have a subpoena that means I’ve got to do it,” Credico told CNN. “I’m not going to go to jail for Roger Stone.”
Mueller is reportedly interested in both Stone and Credico as part of his federal Russia investigation after Stone appeared to foreshadow the release of Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails before a WikiLeaks dump during the 2016 election campaign.

It was revealed in November 2017 that Credico may have acted as a backchannel between Stone and Assange in Stone’s attempts to verify a Twitter claim that WikiLeaks had Democratic National Committee emails. Credico has disputed that characterization, but then claimed in an interview on MSNBC in May to have been sent on a “secret mission” to inform House Intelligence Committee ranking member Adam Schiff, D-Calif., that Assange wanted to meet. Assange, in turn, told the Washington Examiner that anything “Credico [says] can be believed these days.”
Stone has not been charged by Mueller nor has he been accused of any wrongdoing by the respective House and Senate intelligence committees.
