ROBERT MUELLER/RUSSIA INVESTIGATION/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Jerome Corsi, a conspiracy theorist and friend of the longtime Trump adviser Roger J. Stone Jr., said on Monday [11-12-18] that his two-month-long cooperation with the special counsel’s office has broken down and he expects to be charged with lying to investigators or a federal grand jury. Mr. Corsi, who said he has been cooperating since August with prosecutors working for the special counsel, Robert S. Mueller III, predicted his own indictment in a YouTube live stream that included a plea to listeners for money to cover his legal fees. He offered no independent corroboration, and he has a long history of lobbing public grenades, including insisting that President Barack Obama was raised a Muslim and forged his birth certificate. Mr. Corsi’s lawyer, David Gray, had no comment, nor did a spokesman for Mr. Mueller, who is investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 presidential election and whether any Trump associates were involved.”
