Jerome Corsi's lawyer says the Senate Intelligence Committee has subpoenaed his client, who is connected to longtime Trump political advisor Roger Stone.
The committee is seeking both an interview and documents from Corsi, an associate of longtime GOP operative and Trump ally Roger Stone, Corsi's lawyer Larry Klayman said.
Klayman declined to provide details on the subpoena, which he said was received Thursday, but described it as "overly broad." He also called the subpoena "part of continued harassment from this committee."

The panel last year requested documents from Corsi as part of its investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. Corsi and Klayman publicly rejected the request at the time.
Corsi has been a person of interest in the special counsel's investigation for the past few months. He first publicly revealed last year that special counsel Robert Mueller's team had offered him a plea deal for making a false statement to investigators.
He said at the time that he was rejecting the offer, as he didn't he believe had purposely lied to the special counsel's office.
Corsi has since filed a complaint with the Department of Justice requesting ethical and criminal investigations into the special counsel's office. And he filed a lawsuit late last year against Mueller as well, alleging illegal surveillance and leaks.

Corsi told The Hill in an interview earlier Friday that his stepson will appear before Mueller's grand jury next week, after he caught the attention of investigators over texts the pair exchanged.
The stepson, Andrew Stettner, had told Corsi in a text that a computer sitting on Corsi's desk had been "scrubbed."

Corsi also said that the special counsel's team had sought a copy of his book detailing his experience with the Mueller investigation, a revelation he first made to The Wall Street Journal earlier this week.
