Mueller Focused on Tip About WikiLeaks Plans, Document Shows
Special counsel Robert Mueller's team believes a conservative author and conspiracy theorist tipped off Donald Trump's confidant Roger Stone months before WikiLeaks released thousands of emails stolen from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, according to a document newly made public.
Special counsel Robert Mueller's team believes a conservative author and conspiracy theorist tipped off Donald Trump's confidant Roger Stone months before WikiLeaks released thousands of emails stolen from Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman, according to a document newly made public.
The document, which was drafted as part of a plea offer to Jerome Corsi, provides an unprecedented window into an active part of Mueller's investigation into Russian election interference and possible coordination with Trump's associates. It reveals that Mueller is keenly focused on whether Americans close to the Trump campaign had any foreknowledge of WikiLeaks' plans to release hacked material during the 2016 presidential campaign.
The document's contents were first reported by NBC News, and a copy of it was posted online by The Washington Post. Corsi told The Associated Press on Tuesday evening that the document had been provided to his attorney by Mueller's team. Stone has denied knowing about WikiLeaks plans' ahead of time. Mueller spokesman Peter Carr declined to comment.
Corsi said the document, which mirrors similar ones filed by Mueller in previous plea deals, contains portions of emails he exchanged with Stone in the summer of 2016 about WikiLeaks. But he denied that he intentionally lied to investigators about the emails, and said that was why he rejected the plea offer , which would have charged him with one count of making false statements.
"I did not ever willfully and knowingly give them false information," Corsi said. He said he forgot about the emails in question during his first interview with Mueller's team, noting they were among 60,000 contained on the laptop he provided to the special counsel's office.

Missing 17th-century masterpiece hiding in plain view in NY
A New York college professor sparked a decades-old art mystery — just by going to church.
Tom Ruggio said he found a 17th-century painting long thought to be missing by looking up as he sat in the back of Holy Family Roman Catholic Church in New Rochelle.
“One day the lights were on a little brighter and I saw that painting and I was shocked,” the art-history professor told News 12 Westchester. “I immediately knew it was 17th Century Italian.”
He now says he and other experts determined that the Baroque oil painting was by Italian artist Cesare Dandini, depicting babies Jesus and St. John the Baptist with Jesus’ parents Mary and Joseph.
Art historians had considered the allegedly centuries-old work missing — as it unwittingly sat on the wall of the local church since the 1960s, reports said.
“This painting was thought to be lost for decades, so it was hiding in plain sight essentially in New Rochelle,” Ruggio told WABC 7.
The church is lending the painting out to Iona College for a three-month display in its library, but no one seems to be entirely sure how Holy Family got its hands on the Dandini.
Monsignor Dennis Keane said a former head of the church bought the painting in a London gallery in the 1960s.
“He purchased two of these paintings in a gallery, but we don’t know the name of the gallery,” Keane told WABC.
It also isn’t entirely clear what the painting would fetch in terms of a price tag if it were put up for sale.

Missing 17th century masterpiece discovered in Westchester County church
A painting that had been lost to art historians for decades was recently discovered at a church in Westchester County.
Workers carefully hung a valuable 17th century oil on canvas masterpiece in the Ryan Library at Iona College on Monday.
But how it got there - and the man who found it - is the real story.
"I knew immediately that a quest had begun," said Tom Ruggio.
Ruggio teaches art history at Iona. During a visit last year to a the nearby Church of the Holy Family, located only a few blocks away from campus, he saw the painting and was stunned.
"And I realized immediately it was an Italian Baroque painting," Ruggio said. "And I sort of did a double take, why is it here? I immediately got up and started to take to some bad pictures with my cellphone."
Ruggio sent those pictures to art history colleagues in Italy and Manhattan.
They connected the 46x57 inch artwork as one in a series of paintings by Cesare Dandini.
They date back to the 1630s. This particular painting is called "Holy Family with the Infant St. John."
"Central figures are the Virgin Mary and the Christ child," Ruggio said. "We've got Joseph and we have the infant St. John. Saint John the Baptist."
For years art historians thought the painting was missing. But for the last six decades it was in New Rochelle at the Holy Family Church.
How it got there is a story in and of itself.
"The former pastor Monsignor Fitzgerald went over to I believe London and was going through different galleries because he wanted to get paintings for over the door here and on the other side of the church," said Monsignor Dennis Keane with Church of the Holy Family. "He purchased two of these paintings in a gallery, but we don't know the name of the gallery."
The monsignor and his parish council agreed to loan the masterpiece to the college library where it will hang for the next three months.
