Around the possibility that he may have been an intermediary between roger stone and wikileaks, specifically in the time before the 2016 release of hacked emails that were damaging to the clinton campaign. Corsi is a wellknown conspiracy theorist. If a deal comes through, it would indicate he was actually speaking the truth a couple of days ago when he indictment from mueller was coming. I got served a subpoena on august 28th at my home, two fbi agents show up unannounced. I did not talk to the fbi. Of course my wife was pretty startled. We began a series of discussions with them that have gone on for two months. And at the end of that two months, even though i did everything i could to cooperate, the entire negotiation and discussions have just blown up and now i fully anticipate in the next few days i will be indicted by mueller for some form or other of giving false information to the special counsel or to one of the other grand jury or however they want to do the indictment, but im going to be criminally charged. Now, the subpoena came to my home three days before my 72nd birthday, and this has been one of the most frightening experiences of my life. Let me turn now to cnn Senior National correspondent alex marquardt. Remind us the relationship that corsi had with stone and how hes involved in all of this. And how he may be a witness against roger stone. Corsi said he is in talks with the mueller team, but this time hes talking about a possible plea deal, which he has confirmed to cnn. That means that the special counsel will certainly have a lot of questions about that relationship that he has with roger stone and what information was shared between the two of them. Corsi is not someone many people may have heard of. Hes a bit of a fringe player in all of this, but he could provide a crucial missing link between wikileaks and the Trump Campaign, specifically with ricard to coordination with wikileaks and hacked emails in the 2016 election. He said he did not have a source inside wikileaks. He claims he simply developed a theory that his emails had been on tau obtained by wikileaks and would be released in october and then that did happen. He said he shared that information with roger stone, that it was based on open information and the prior release of dnc emails. That prediction then turned out to be true. As you noted, corsi is a conspiracy theorist. He and President Trump were allies in the birther theory that president truobama was not born in the United States and we know that is not true. We dont know the status of a plea deal for corsi. Negotiations are ongoing, they could fall apart. Lets analyze all of this with paul kallen. If corsi does flip, that could be bad news for roger stone. What could he reveal and how might that play into the Bigger Picture of collusion . It could be bad news for stone and could provide a link back to the president. Mueller is circling back to the Trump Campaign. Hes doing what he was told to do, focus on connections between the Trump Campaign and hacking of emails by the russians to influence the election. Roger stone originally said he got his information about wikileaks, which sounded like he was in direct contact with julian assange, not from assange himself but from a talk host, a radio talk host named randy cortico. The connection with corsi is an entirely different connection with corsi indicating he got information and speculated that wikileaks would be leaking this information. But corsi is also linked to President Trump and to roger stone as well. All of these pieces are being put together by mueller. If corsi is in negotiation, does that mean hes given up the goods or hes willing to give up the goods if he gets a good deal . It means hes making a proffer to federal authorities. In these proffer sessions, your lawyer goes in and says, listen, this is the information hell give you. We think it will help your case, but hes not going to do that under oath unless you offer a deal. Now, the prosecutors in turn have to say hes selling something we need to make a case out or to finish the investigation. Theyre not going to offer him a deal unless hes got valuable information that they really cant prove through other sources. When we heard from Rudy Giuliani earlier this week and he was talking about the written answers that trump provided to mueller, axios said mueller asked about the russian hacks during the campaign that immediately followed trumps july 27, 2016 press conference in florida when trump said russia, if youre listening, i hope youre able to find the 30,000 Hillary Clinton emails that are missing. We know mueller has been circling around roger stone. Might corsi be the smoking gun and be the definitive proof of the leak between Russian Hackers and wikileaks to the Trump Campaign . Might this be it . Yes, brooke. I think corsi could be a missing link in the investigation thats putting everything together. I find it fascinating that mueller is so focused on this. Hes on the want hand going after the president with specific questions about this very subject. There are lots of rumors out about roger stone and now we know that hes putting pressure on corsi. So there seems to be sort of a laser beam focus of the Mueller Investigation now on this particular set of individuals, and it all has to do with collusi collusion, the very thing that the president has repeatedly said theres no evidence of collusion, it doesnt exist. Well, if it does exist, these are the people who mueller would be focusing on to prove it. We have just gotten a statement in from roger stone as weve been talking. This is what roger stone says. As one can see from his recent videos and recent videos, my friend, dr. Corsi, has been under a tremendous amount of pressure and it is beginning to affect him profoundly. He has stated publicly he is being asked to say over and over to say things he simply does not believe occurred. I am not aware of any plea talks involving dr. Corsi. Hes an vinvestigative journalit whose activities i would think would be largely covered under the first amendment. As for what he may have known and when he may have known it, his discussions to me regarding the podesta brothers were related to the overseas business interests unearth notre dain th papers. To my best recollection, there was no one publication, mainstream or otherwise that ever mentioned John Podestas email prior to their posting by wikileaks. As i told the Washington Post, if dr. Corsi new John Podestas emails had been obtained by anyone and would be published, he never shared this information with me, nor did he give me any such documents. Thats roger stone. Your reaction. Roger stone is talking like a very worried individual. Hes making before even knowing what corsi is saying to the mueller investigators, hes, you know, making this very detailed Public Statement to try to distance himself and to say that corsi is under tremendous pressure. How would stone know that unless hes had discussions with corsi about this very subject . You can be sure that the mueller lawyers are going to be asking corsi about what discussions hes had with roger stone. Its always dangerous had two people who are being looked at by investigators are sitting down with one another to lets say discuss the facts of the case. A lot of times prosecutors describe that as getting their stories straight. Well have to see how the mueller team handles it. Feeling the pressure. Paul callan, thank you. Thank you, brooke. Also now this breaking story, after a long week of headlines coming out of the white house, just look at all of the happenings from team trump since last saturday. His controversial visit to the california wildfires, his insult of the admiral who oversaw the bin laden raid, his regrets to not visit Arlington National cemetery on veterans day, his reply that he did not know his acting attorney general spoke out whatsoever on the Mueller Probe, his asylum ban getting overturned in court, the fact that he still hasnt visited an active war zone, the white house fully restoring jim acostas press pass, his mission of written answers to special counsel Robert Muellers investigation, his feud with Supreme Court justice john roberts, his stand with the saudis, despite the cia saying the crown prince ordered the hit on u. S. Based journalist Jamal Khashoggi, his acting a. G. Under investigation for campaign contributions, keeping in mind this has all opinion a who wibek and yesterday his highly politicized phone call with troops and backing the saudi royal family saying that the cia did not, quote unquote, come to a conclusion on the crown princes involvement. Now the majority in the house soon to be wants to put that to the test in 2019. Lets go to White House Reporter sara westwood. What is the ranking house intel member congressman adam schiff now saying he wants to do . Reporter well, brooke, congressman adam schiff, who will soon take over the House Intelligence Committee is saying that his committee will look into the death of Jamal Khashoggi and how the administration is responding to it. Thats just part of what House Democrats say theyre going to go after this president for. Obviously we know that are going to target President Trump over his tax returns, we know theyre going to target the president over areas where his Foreign Policy might have overlapped with his business interests. Thats something that the Ranking Member soontobe chairman adam schiff says he want to go after. The president is projecting a sense of optimism, a sense that his white house is not worried about democratic investigations but a lot of republicans have been warning the president will soon face some kind of reality check when democrats do sweep into power come january. Hes never had to preside over divided government and this khashoggi murder and the way that his administration has handled it, in light of the fact that the president has had business dealings in saudi arabia prior to him taking office certainly going to be a focus of democrats and certainly been a point of criticism up to now, brooke. Were going to stay on that reality check. Thank you very much. Let me bring in senior White House Correspondent for bloomberg news. Margaret, weve talked about democrats walking the line of investigation once theyve been charged. Theyre certainly not shying away and look at what soontobe chairman schiff is doing. Right. This is sort of a nobrainer, right. So far the big question has been over the impeachment question. With the new democratic majority coming into the house, some of them are more liberal or Progressive Side than the longerterm career politicians. So to the extent folks on the government committees and oversight panels can tackle sort of new emerging issues like this one, it seems like a no brainer this would be the course schiff would want to take. We know easy for me to talk. I had a lot of turkey yesterday, margaret. Misrepresenting the cias conclusion to protect mbs. They want to look at trumps financial ties to saudi arabia. I say financial ties because as you cover this president , that is mighty close to what he has referred to as the red line, has it not . Thats true. The president talks to the extent mr. Muellers probe dove into business, that would be a red line for him. He had this entire career and Business Empire that continues to exist. And so these are not issues that, you know, setting aside all the particulars of this just in general the sort of parallel structure of having a business and licensing empire and family members kind of some in the business side, some in the white house side, that is not something that president obama or president bush before him have had to contend with. Look, already setting all of this aside, we know that in january when the democrats took over the house that there would be a lot more of a steppedup look at both the aspects of the Mueller Probe and aspects of Foreign Policy in the president s dealings, but this has now all been ratcheted up because of all of this. Even as early as next week the world will be watching as both trump and Mohammed Bin Salman will be at the g20. They will watch how he will be with president put and and with president xi of china. He will be watching the economy because he knows it matters so much with the americans. Do you think next week the president tries to get a deal with xi in buenos aires . There are two issues the g20 is supposed to tackle. One is trade and the other is Climate Change. If apec is any sort of guide to us, you see a willingness on the president to put a stick in the wheels if it serves his messaging or if he feels he can be successful with that sort of a challenge. All eyes are going to be on whether or not xi and President Trump can reach some sort of an accommodation. The president does not at this point seem to be looking for a reason to blink. That is next week, g20. Margaret talev, thank you very. Good to see you. Breaking news, the Trump Administration has asked the Supreme Court to take up the proposed ban on transgender troops, something the lower courts have already struck down.
