WASHINGTON — A former aide to Trump confidant Roger Stone testified before a grand jury after a months-long legal battle with special counsel Robert Mueller.
Andrew Miller answered questions for about two hours Friday in Washington.
Prosecutors sought Miller’s testimony as they built a criminal case against Stone, but he fought a subpoena for nearly a year. An appeals court rejected his challenge of Mueller’s legal authority and another judge denied his efforts to avoid testifying.
Miller’s lawyer says the questioning centred on what Miller knew about Stone’s connections to WikiLeaks and its founder Julian Assange.
Stone was charged earlier this year with obstruction, lying to Congress and witness tampering. He’s pleaded not guilty.
Mueller officially concluded his Russia investigation in March, but his office handed off several cases to other federal prosecutors.
