Kristin Davis, the woman known as the "Manhattan Madam," will testify before Special Counsel Robert Mueller's grand jury in Washington, DC Friday.
Last week an investigator on Mueller’s team questioned Davis about Russian collusion, said the source.

Davis, 41, told NBC News in July that someone in Mueller's office called her attorney to ask her to speak to investigators, and that she believed it was because of her ties to former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone. She also said she had no knowledge of Russian collusion.

In a statement to NBC News last week, Stone said: "Kristin Davis is a long-time friend and associate of mine. She is a brilliant businesswoman who paid her debt to society and remade her life. … She knows nothing about alleged Russian collusion, WikiLeaks collaboration or any other impropriety related to the 2016 election which I thought was the subject of this probe. … I am highly confident she will testify truthfully if called upon to do so."
Davis has a close, longstanding relationship with Stone. She has worked with him since 2010, and he is the godfather to her son.
Davis was in prison during much of the 2016 presidential campaign but picked up work with Stone after her release.
She was arrested in 2013 after allegedly selling drugs to an FBI cooperating witness. She pleaded guilty to a charge of selling prescription drugs. Sentenced to two years in prison, she was released in May 2016.
Davis had previously spent several months in New York's Rikers Island jail for procuring prostitution. She earned the nickname the "Manhattan Madam" in New York's tabloids after saying publicly that her escort service had about 10,000 well-heeled clients. She said Eliot Spitzer, New York's governor at the time, had been among her clients.
