Hey, everyone listening to our podcast. This is Ari Melbert, and this is another exclusive edition of The Beat with Ari Melbur on the podcast.

This week, we were able to report exclusively that Bob Mueller is subpoenaing a known associate of Roger Stone and Julian Assange, radio host Randy Credico.

Now, those of you who watch and comment on our show have given us all kinds of opinions and feedback on Mr.

Credico, but this week's news shows why he is, if nothing else, legally relevant to the Mueller

probe. And he tells me exclusively in this discussion about the ins and outs that you don't

usually hear, how Mueller sent federal agents to New York to confront him personally and push him

to do the interview and how when

his lawyer pushed back and said they wouldn't do a voluntary interview, well, boom, this week

they got hit with a subpoena forcing them to go to the grand jury in September. So we're going

to show you for this week's exclusive that interview, which you can listen to and all of the

newsmaking material that was in it.

Plus, we're going to walk back through what I think has additional context now,

which is some of our past interviews with Credico, one where he was with Sam Nunberg, another associate of Roger Stone,

another where we talked about his relationship with Julian Assange, including Assange's alleged comments about,

well, not only the Mueller Pro, but this TV show, and of course, a lot of other things that come up anytime you deal with Mr. Randy Credico.

Here is our exclusive this week.

I am joined now by Randy Credico.

You are, I will note, somewhat controversial figure.

But what you said on this news program appears to have been borne out in public now.

Why is Julian Assange saying he's willing to talk, and do you think he really would talk to investigators?

Well, I think that he would, provided that the parameters are set in a way that's not unfavorable to him.

And it can't be a trap.
