Special counsel Robert Mueller has summoned Conservative writer Jerome Corsi’s stepson, Andrew Stettner, to give testimony before a grand jury, The Washington Post reports.
Corsi said in an interview on Fox Business Network on Monday night that his stepson recently received a summons notice to appear before a grand jury, likely in connection to emails from 2016 that his stepfather deleted.
Corsi said in the interview that the special counsel’s team seems most interested in a text exchange he had with his stepson in which Stettner said the computer on Corsi’s desk was “scrubbed.”
“I think they think that Andrew was conspiring with me, as my computer expert, to destroy evidence,” Corsi said. “They’re looking for anything they can find.”
“They’re investigating every aspect of our lives, including our families,” he added.
Corsi claimed that Stettner was simply asking permission to take the computer, which Corsi said he had not been using, to use for work for his mother’s business. An attorney representing the two declined to comment to the Post.
Prosecutors allege that Corsi deleted an email in 2016 from Roger Stone, a longtime Republican political operative who was close to President Donald Trump during his campaign, wherein Stone tells Corsi to attempt to contact WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to see if he could get copies of the hacked emails his website released.
