[partial quote begins] "President Donald Trump's longtime ally, veteran political operative Roger Stone, said his emails about WikiLeaks publisher Julian Assange during the 2016 presidential election, which it appears special counsel Robert Mueller may be be zeroing in on, are being “mischaracterized.” Mueller’s increased focus on Stone recently gained attention when a series of email exchanges between Stone and his former associate, Jerome Corsi -- a fellow Trump loyalist whom Stone hired to conduct research in advance of the election -- emerged last week. In an interview with ABC News on Monday, Corsi provided ABC News with copies of a plea agreement he said was drafted by Mueller’s prosecutors, which cites three emails involving Stone about getting in touch with Assange."[partial quote ends] Jim Bell
