Meanwhile over in the Roger Stone trial, Rick Gates just confirmed candidate Trump, Manafort, Bannon had advance knowledge of wikileaks releases in 2016 -- which, you know, was one of the first questions in this whole investigation.— Molly McKew (@MollyMcKew) November 12, 2019

Shortly after Wikileaks posted the hacked DNC emails, Stone told Trump that there was more damaging info to be released.— Susan Simpson (@TheViewFromLL2) November 12, 2019
And then Trump went on TV and announced: "Russia, if you're listening, I hope you're able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing."https://t.co/Bx6g5DlBTC
Stone trial is disclosing evidence Trump directly lied to Mueller when he said he didn't recall conversations with Stone or anyone about WikiLeaks' plans & intentions re the release of material stolen by Russian op. Gates says Trump "indicated...more information would be coming." https://t.co/V4QtAMmX6g— David Corn (@DavidCornDC) November 12, 2019
Note to the credulous whomever they may be: "I don't recall" is almost always a tell that the person is lying to cover up a crime and doesn't want to perjure himself. (See Trump, Donald; Sondland, Gordon; Gotti, John...)
