Conservative writer and Obama birth-certificate-conspiracy peddler Jerome Corsi is in plea talks with special counsel Ro൲bert Mueller’s team, which is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.
Corsi has been under scrutiny over his ties to WikiLeaks, which published e-mails from Hillary Clinton aide🔯s during the presidential rac🐓e that are widely believed to have come from Russian hackers.
He confirmed the plea talks Friday to ꧃The Associated Pres🌃s.
Earlier this month, Corsi said that he was cooperating with Muellerꦗ in what he described as “one o🔴f the most frightening experiences of my life.”
But in a vꦯideo posted on Nov. ▨12, he claimed “discussions have just blown up” and said he expected to be indicted for lying.
Corsi, 72, an associate🥃 of Trump pal Roger Stone, insisted that he didn’t get a heads-up about WikiLeak’s publication of hacked e-mails tied t♕o John Podesta, chair of Clinton’s 2016 campaign.
“To th👍e best of my recollection, what I knew in advance about what [Wikileaks founder] Julian Assange was going to do regarding the Podesta e-mails, 💖I figured out,” Corsi said.
Mueller’s team has also been e🥂xamining Stone’s connections to WikiLeaks.
Stone sa𒐪id 🔥Friday that Corsi was feeling the heat of the probe.
“As one can see from his recent videos and his recent interviews that my friend Dr. Corsi 🌳has been under a tremendous amount of pressure and it is begin🌳ning to affect him profoundly,” he said in a statement.
