As Special Counsel Robert Mueller closes in on Roger Stone, he is paying special attention to the constant, late-night phone calls between the longtime Trump adviser and the then-candidate himself, according to a Wednesday Washington Post report.

Trump reportedly usually called Stone from a blocked number in the small hours of the night during the campaign.

Mueller’s prosecutors linked the two men on draft court documents leaked this week, causing a maelstrom of anxiety within the President’s legal team, as it becomes abundantly clear that Mueller has a keen interest in Trump’s involvement with the WikiLeaks information.

Trump reportedly denied getting any information about the WikiLeaks documents from Stone in his written answers given to Mueller this week.
