Mueller: Trump campaign officials communicated with Stone on WikiLeaks in 2016


BY JACQUELINE THOMSEN - 01/25/19 08:29 AM EST

Officials in President Trump’s 2016 campaign asked longtime Trump associate Roger Stone about future email releases by WikiLeaks ahead of the 2016 presidential election, special counsel Robert Mueller’s office has alleged.

“Stone was contacted by senior Trump Campaign officials to inquire about future releases by Organization 1,” the document states, in an apparent reference to WikiLeaks. Those communications took place after WikiLeaks released emails stolen from the Democratic National Committee (DNC) in July 2016.

The indictment charges that Stone stayed in touch with the campaign about WikiLeaks and potential email releases in the months leading up to the election.

Federal prosecutors say that Stone received an email from a “high-ranking Trump Campaign official asking about the status of future releases” by WikiLeaks in early October 2016.

Stone replied that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange had a “[s]erious security concern” but that the group would start releasing “a load every week going forward.”
