2016 ELECTION/LEGAL/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP AS PRESIDENT/TRUMP PEOPLE: “An associate of Roger Stone, a longtime ally of U.S. President Donald Trump, was questioned in front of a grand jury in the special counsel’s Russia probe on Friday [9-7-18] about his years-long relationship with Stone and about Wikileaks, the associate’s lawyer told Reuters. Randy Credico, a comedian and talk show host, had been subpoenaed to testify as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election and possible collusion with the Trump campaign, which the president denies. Credico’s lawyer, Martin Stolar, said his client’s testimony was predominantly focused on his relationship with Stone ‘over a number of years.’ He said Credico was also asked about Stone’s interactions with Wikileaks, which came under scrutiny after publishing emails hacked from the Democratic Party and the account of candidate Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman before the 2016 election. Another Stone associate, right-wing commentator Jerome Corsi, was also scheduled to testify on Friday before that plan was put on hold. Corsi was questioned by Mueller’s team on Thursday, his lawyer David Gray said.”
