Summary

In this week's bonus episode, listen to Ari Melber's entire blockbuster interview with Jerome Corsi, a key witness in the Mueller probe and an associate of Roger Stone. Corsi admits to Melber that he lied to Congress, that he tried to get stolen Clinton emails back to the Trump campaign in 2016, that he “absolutely” intended to help the Trump campaign by doing so, that he told Roger Stone about John Podesta’s emails and that his lawyers are still communicating with Trump’s legal team “as if” there is a joint legal defense. Ari Melber also presses Corsi on being a leader of the “birther movement” which Ari describes as a “total and complete lie” and asks him whether he is auditioning for a Trump pardon by bringing the subject of pardons up during the interview.

Hey, everyone listening to the podcast. This is Ari, and I want to share with you something pretty special that was quite newsworthy this week from The Beat, which is my entire interview with Jerome Corsey, a key witness in the Mueller probe and an associate of Roger Stone.

0:13.7

If you've been reading the internet or the papers, you may have noticed our interview on The Beat got written up in the New York Times and Rolling Stone and a lot

0:22.3

of other outlets.

0:23.5

And that's partly because of what Mr. Corsi revealed in the interview, confessing that

he arranged with Roger Stone to lie to Congress and submitted fraudulent materials to do so,

the Trump campaign, that he absolutely intended it to benefit Donald Trump.

0:42.6

That, as you may know, is kind of a big deal.

0:45.1

And that he was the source to Roger Stone about tips regarding John Podesta's stolen emails,

0:50.5

although he says the way he learned that was by teaching himself through a kind of, quote, divine

0:55.0

intervention, not that he actually found out from WikiLeaks intermediaries, but, and this is critical,

1:00.0

you'll hear in the interview he admits to me that Roger Stone may think Mr. Corsi was the famed

intermediary. Many of those things are important because they deeply delve into where the mystery

of the Russia probe is headed,

1:11.7

as well as potential crimes.

1:13.8

Finally, Mr. Corsi said that he thought the interview was fair.

1:16.4

I appreciate that, and that he's prepared to die in jail.

1:19.1

You can hear all of it right now.

1:23.4

Corsi is live on the beat.
