The former Infowars Washington bureau chief, who recently testified before a federal grand jury in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election, tells ABC News that after two months of closed-door talks with investigators, the special counsel has now indicated he will be charged within a matter of days.


Corsi is one of more than a dozen individuals associated with political operative Roger Stone -- a longtime and close ally of President Donald Trump -- who have been contacted by the special counsel. The witnesses, many of whom have appeared before the grand jury impaneled by Mueller's team, have told ABC News they were asked about Stone's dealings during the 2016 election and what if any contact he may have had with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange through an intermediary, which Stone denies.

Much remains unknown about Mueller's interest in Stone. But Corsi has emerged as a central figure of interest to Mueller as he builds his case, sources confirm to ABC News. Corsi, who Stone told ABC News he has known for years, has frequently appeared with Stone on-air for Infowars, where Stone currently serves as a contributor.

Jerome Corsi, a right-wing author linked to Trump confidant Roger Stone, is negotiating with the special counsel’s office about a possible plea deal, The Washington Post reported.

It is unclear when Corsi began negotiating with the special counsel or what crimes would be included in any plea agreement. Corsi has appeared twice before a grand jury being used in the investigation, which is being led by Robert Mueller.
