Roger Roger Stone associate Jerome Corsi abruptly cancels interview amid potential indictment. His lawyer texted him and said shut it down.

A day after saying that he expects to be indicted by special counsel Robert Mueller, conservative commentator Jerome Corsi abruptly canceled an interview with NBC News.

Corsi, an associate of Roger Stone, was in a car heading to Manhattan from his New Jersey home about 12:30 p.m. when his lawyer David Gray received a planned phone call with the special counsel's office, Gray said.

About 1 p.m., Corsi was sitting inside his car outside Rockefeller Center when NBC News received a text from Gray. Gray had just finished speaking with Mueller's team, he told NBC News.

"On advice of counsel, Dr. Corsi is cancelling today's interview," the message read. "No further comment."
