On November 9, 2016 — the day after Trump won the election — WikiLeaks replied, "Happy? We are now more free to communicate."
The group later sent another message, saying, "FYI, while we continue to be unhappy about false 'back channel' claims, today CNN deliberately broke our off the record comments."
CNN said the comments in question were not off-the-record because it made no such prior agreement with WikiLeaks before the conversation.
Stone said in a statement to NBC News that he had "no advance knowledge of the content or source of information published by WikiLeaks" and added that he had not been interviewed by Mueller's team.
"I never discussed WikiLeaks, Assange or the Hillary disclosures with candidate Trump, before during or after the election," he told the outlet. "I have no idea what he knew about them, from who or when. I have never met Assange."
Stone's relationship with Trump has also been of particular interest to investigators.
One witness interviewed by Mueller's team told NBC News that investigators asked about what Stone's interactions with Trump were like once he ended his tenure as a Trump campaign adviser in August 2015.
"How often did they talk? Who really fired him? Was he really fired?" the witness said, describing the questions they were asked.

Murray — who runs Murray Energy Corporation, the largest private coal company in the country — filed the suit Wednesday. It says Oliver's program "executed a meticulously planned attempt to assassinate the character of and reputation of Mr. Robert E. Murray and his companies." In the segment, Oliver called Murray a "geriatric Dr. Evil" because of Murray Energy's weakened safety practices, which Oliver contended led to a collapse in one of Murray's Utah mines that killed nine workers in 2007. Oliver predicted during the segment on Sunday that th...

APC Chieftain cautions Kalu over comments on Buhari’s HealthABUJA – A founding chieftain of the All Progressives Congress APC in Abia state, Prince Paul Ikonne has cautioned a former governor of the state, Orji Uzor Kalu to avoid comments that could portray the party as incapable of keeping to its words. Ikonne was speaking against the backdrop of the former governor’s declaration that ailing President Muhammadu Buhari would return before June 12, urging him to refrain from acting as the president’s unofficial spokesman. “Last time, Dr Orji Uzor Kalu told Nigerians that President Buhari would return soon and he is not the spokesman of the President. Till now, the President is yet to return. He should keep quiet and learn to live like an elder statesman, not trying to take the job of the president’s spokesmen”, he said. Speaking with journalists Thursday in Abuja, Ikonne who was a governorship candidate of the defunct Action Congress of Nigeria ACN, said 95 percent of the people of Abia are not happy with the way Kalu governed Abia for eight years.
