Trump in TROUBLE? Top adviser willing to testify to Mueller over WikiLeaks conversations

Mr Stone was arrested in Florida after a being accused of lying by Robert Muller’s team when giving evidence into allegations of collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. The longtime Trump advisor told host George Stephanopoulos during an interview on ABC’s “This Week” that he would talk to Robert Mueller about controversial conversations with Donald Trump. This would be regarding potential crimes by members of Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign, and that he would speak with the special counsel about his conversations with the president.

In the ABC interview, he stated that the breadth of his cooperation with Mueller is something he would “have to determine with my attorneys” following “some discussion.”

He added: “If there’s wrongdoing by other people in the campaign that I know about, which I know of none, but if there is I would certainly testify honestly.”

Mueller’s office issued a seven-count indictment accusing Mr Stone of witness tampering.

The special counsel also alleged that he misled Congress concerning his communications with WikiLeaks and his association with the Trump campaign.

Trump turned to Twitter to protest at Mueller’s actions.

He tweeted: “Greatest witch hunt in the history of our country! No collusion.”

Immediately following his arrest Mr Stone accussed Mueller of ‘Gestapo tactics’

But recently he has expressed his willingness to divulge his affairs with the US President in candid cooperation with the special counsel.

Mr Stone said: “I’d also testify honestly about any other matter, including any communications with the president.”

“It’s true that we spoke on the phone, but those communications are political in nature, they’re benign, and there is certainly no conspiracy with Russia.”

Mr Stone also said Trump had never suggested a presidential pardon in exchange for his refusal to assist Mueller’s team of federal prosecutors in their probe of Russian interference in the 2016 election.

“Absolutely, positively not,” Mr Stone said. “I have never discussed a pardon.”
