An ally of Nigel Farage was asked to obtain secret information from WikiLeaks for Donald Trump’s team during the 2016 election campaign, according to US investigators.

Ted Malloch, a London-based academic close to Farage, was allegedly passed a request from a longtime Trump adviser to get advance copies of emails stolen from Trump’s opponents
by Russian hackers and later published by WikiLeaks.

The allegation emerged in a draft legal document drawn up by Robert Mueller, the special prosecutor investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election and any collusion with
Trump’s campaign team.

Malloch, who is American, told the BBC soon after Trump’s election win in November 2016: “I’ve had a lot of contact. I’ve been involved with the campaign for over a year and a half.”
He was in Washington for Trump’s inauguration. He was at the same time close to Farage and other influential Brexit campaigners. Farage wrote the afterword for a book by Malloch
subtitled An Insider’s Look at the Trump Victory. Elsewhere in the book, Malloch said of Farage: “The government should use him as a back channel to Trump.”

Mueller’s draft legal document said that on 25 July 2016, Malloch was forwarded an email from Roger Stone, a notorious “dirty trickster” close to Trump. Stone wanted someone to
make contact with Julian Assange, the WikiLeaks founder, who had just published the first tranche of emails stolen from the Democratic party and was promising more revelations.

“Get to Assange at the Ecuadorian Embassy in London and get the pending WikiLeaks emails,” the email said, according to Mueller’s document. The email was sent by Stone to Jerome
Corsi, a conservative author, who promptly forwarded it to his friend Malloch.

Corsi said in an interview on Wednesday that Malloch did not respond to his email and did not visit Assange. “Ted Malloch and I were in touch. Roger Stone wanted Malloch to go and
see Julian Assange and I did pass the message on,” said Corsi. “But to my knowledge he did not. I don’t think he ever saw Assange.”

Malloch, who once taught at the University of Oxford, was last year discussed as a candidate to be Trump’s US ambassador to the EU before a Financial Times article exposed
numerous false claims he had made about his credentials.

Gee, whoda thought Roger Stone would lie about being involved with Wikileaks' DNC email leaks?? And Corsi's an accomplice too, delicious. I'm sure Mueller knows all about this already.
