As part of the ongoing Russia probe, special counsel Robert Mueller recently subpoenaed radio show host Randy Credico, who allegedly served as a backchannel line of communication between President Donald Trump’s former campaign adviser, Roger Stone and Wikileaks.

Credico was named by Stone after the former adviser appeared before the House Intelligence Committee for his potential involvement in the Wikileaks release. Just months prior to the 2016 presidential election, WikiLeaks released hundreds of hacked emails from the Democratic National Committee and Hillary Clinton‘s campaign servers. Mueller later indicted 12 Russian intelligence agents for hacking the servers and providing the emails to Wikileaks. Stone later admitted that he is most likely the unnamed “U.S. person” also mentioned in the indictment. But he still claims no prior knowledge of the emails leaking, despite having stated that Assange would deliver a “devastating exposé” of Clinton, just before one of the batches was released.

Credico is expected to testify before the grand jury on September 7.
