Special Counsel Robert Mueller appears to be turning his focus to President Donald Trump’s longtime adviser Roger Stone, bringing in a string of Stone’s associates in recent weeks for questioning about his activities during the 2016 campaign.
Mueller issued a subpoena last week to Jason Sullivan, a former social media aide and assistant to Stone, for documents and to testify before a grand jury, according to Knut Johnson, Sullivan’s lawyer. Sullivan, whose work focuses on identifying social media influencers, was paid in July and August 2016 by the Committee to Restore America’s Greatness, a Super PAC established by Stone, Johnson said. The subpoena was reported earlier Wednesday by Reuters.
