Aaron Zelinsky, a member of Robert Mueller’s special counsel team and a prosecutor in the Roger Stone case, made headlines when he testified before the House Judiciary Committee last June — breaking news headlines, in fact. He said that there was political pressure at the highest levels of the Department of Justice to treat Stone differently because he was a friend of the president.

Zelinsky specifically testified about certain conversations with his superiors, and he even identified those who were in the room for those discussions, about Stone and the pressure to grant him special treatment. The room included J.P. Cooney, chief of the DOJ’s Fraud and Public Corruption Division, and Alessio Evangelista, an assistant U.S. attorney for Washington, D.C., Zelinsky said.
