Jerome Corsi, far-right conspiracy theorist and longtime associate of Roger Stone, said over the weekend he is willing to testify that the information about him contained in the grand jury indictment unsealed Friday is correct.
CNN:
The indictment, publicly revealed on Friday in connection to special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, says that during the 2016 presidential election, "Person 1" emailed Stone, a longtime associate of President Donald Trump, to predict that WikiLeaks had more document dumps in the works. It also alleges that Stone directed "Person 1" to get in touch with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to get "pending" emails from the organization.
Last week, Corsi confirmed to CNN that he is "Person 1" and that the information about him is "accurate," something he repeated on Sunday to CNN's Jake Tapper on "State of the Union."
"I know my motivation is to tell the truth. And I will affirm that what is in the indictment about me is accurate. And I will affirm that if asked to in court," Corsi told Tapper.
"So that means that you're willing to testify against Roger Stone, theoretically, if need be. You will affirm that the -- what's in the indictment is correct?" Tapper asked.
"I'll be happy to testify, if -- I would suspect to be subpoenaed. And I'll let the testimony fall wherever it falls," Corsi replied.
Corsi continues to leave space for error, claiming he is older and does not remember everything that took place during the 2016 campaign, and assert that anything he knew about upcoming WikiLeaks moves was nothing more than well-honed intuition.
"I'm going to tell the truth, to the best of my ability. Even that's hard, given the amount of information and the fact that I have said from the beginning I'm not a human tape recorder. You can't push a button, and I can't recall precisely, in detail, granularly, conversations, emails, events from 2016," Corsi said.

When asked by Tapper if he knew which senior campaign official was directed to talk to Stone to find out about additional Wikileaks releases, as mentioned in the indictment, Corsi said he didn't know and that he only went off what Stone had told him.
"I do agree that Roger wanted me to find out from Wikileaks," he said. "I never had any contact with Julian Assange directly or indirectly, so my communications with Roger in July and August 2016 about what I thought Assange had were really speculation on my part connecting the dots."
