The Senate Intelligence Committee subpoenaed Roger Stone associate Randy Credico last week, asking him to testify and turn over documents in its Russia investigation. Credico's lawyer says his client will plead the 5th instead.
[Credico] told the Senate Intelligence Committee through his lawyer that he’d invoke his constitutional right against possible self-incrimination rather than answer the panel’s questions in the ongoing investigation into Russian influence on the 2016 presidential election.

But Credico is less inclined to meet with congressional investigators conducting their own Russia investigations. He reportedly asserted his Fifth Amendment rights last December after getting a subpoena from the House Intelligence Committee, and his lawyer delivered the same response Monday after getting a similar request from the Senate Intelligence panel.
