Russia Investigators Subpoena a Comedian. No, Seriously.


Congressional Russia investigators have subpoenaed Randy Credico, a longtime comedian and radio host, likely because of his relationship with Julian Assange.

Randy Credico, who is also a comedian and an activist against the drug war, tweeted a picture of a subpoena signed on Nov. 27. His attorney told The Daily Beast that he received the subpoena, from the House Intelligence committee, on Nov. 28.

Credico’s attorney, Martin Stolar, said the committee is likely interested in Credico’s work as a radio host.

“If I had to guess and speculate my guess is they’re interested in talking to him about what conversations he had with Julian and with Roger Stone, both conversations which occurred in the course of him gathering news for publication,” Stolar told The Daily Beast.

Credico has known longtime Trump ally Roger Stone –– who is also of interest to investigators –– for more than 15 years, he said. Credico and Stone both appeared on an InfoWars show in September. - The Daily Beast
