NBC news senior investigations producer Anna Schecter talked with Ali Velshi earlier Tuesday about her interview with Jerome Corsi. She explained some of the circumstances around the interview that was called off at the last minute because Corsi claimed his lawyers said "Nope, we are not talking."
Schecter explains:
"He was offered a plea and he has rejected it. So this is actually going to make his life a lot more complicated. He's in hot water. But big picture, we actually got all of the court documents, everything the government gave to his lawyers and it shows that he had -- there were emails between him and [Roger] Stone leading up to the John Podesta e-mail dump and they couldn't wait to find out what was happening. Stone suggests he actually goes to see Assange or their friend in London, another far-righter, go to see him and Corsi actually passed on that e-mail to the London writer. We don't know if he actually went or not."
NBC News has published excerpts of some of these emails. There is an email trail showing that Corsi knew ahead of the dump what was in the hacked cache.
"Word is friend in embassy plans 2 more dumps," Corsi wrote on Aug. 2, 2016, referring to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, according to the draft court papers. "One shortly after I'm back. 2nd in Oct. Impact planned to be very damaging."
