Jerome Corsi, a right-wing conspiracy theorist, anticipated in emails to Roger Stone that WikiLeaks was planning to release another tranche of stolen and damaging documents ahead of the 2016 presidential election, according to multiple reports based on knowledge of draft court papers.
The charging document — which reportedly details exchanges between Corsi and Stone, a former informal Trump campaign adviser — signals that special counsel Robert Mueller is increasingly scrutinizing WikiLeaks’s release of the Democratic emails and allegations about Stone’s foreknowledge of the leak.
