Stone associate denies being 'backchannel' to WikiLeaks

Radio host and political activist Randy Credico denied in court on Thursday that he had ever served as an intermediary between Roger Stone and WikiLeaks, as Stone told Congress.

Credico appeared on the stand Thursday in Stone's trial over charges of lying to Congress and witness tampering to say that he did not have any inside knowledge about WikiLeaks' plans to release emails stolen from Hillary Clinton's top campaign aide just ahead of the 2016 election.

Credico said that although he interviewed Julian Assange, the head of WikiLeaks, on his radio show in August 2016, he did not ask him about any unreleased documents.

"I never asked him about what he was going to deliver, and I never asked him about his business," Credico said on the stand. "Julian Assange is not going to tell me about future releases."
