Randy Credico, a former associate of Roger Stone, was at a Manhattan federal building for several hours on Wednesday to prepare for his upcoming testimony before special counsel Robert Mueller’s grand jury, Credico’s lawyer told The Daily Beast. “It's just preparation for grand jury testimony in Washington next week,” Martin Stolar said. Credico has reportedly drawn interest from federal investigators because of his relationship with Republican operative Roger Stone, who claimed that Credico served as a conduit between him and Wikileaks founder Julian Assange during the 2016 election. Asked how he is holding up in advance of his scheduled Sept. 7 grand jury appearance, Credico pointed to an e-cigarette and “Now that I have this back, much better.”
