educated guess, that might be one reason why robert mueller and his team are interested in talking to kristin davis. the two have known each other for a long time. roger stone is actually the godfather to her child. davis actually did some work were roger stone including, i'm told, doing some clerical work including some work related to his websites. now, mueller, of course, as we all know, has been very interested in roger stone, and has also taken an interest in some of the aides that have worked for roger stone in the past. so, again, this might be the connection and the reason for his interest. now, i do want to read a statement that we got earlier today from kristin davis' lawyer. it said, "kristin davis and roger stone are very good friends and she has worked on and off for him for the last ten years. roger is the godfather to her son. she is currently in the cosmetology business and she knows nothing whatsoever about russian collusion with the 2016 election." now, obviously, you can see there that she's trying to sort of get ahead of the story and make it very, very clear from the get-go tha

i'm david gura, another wrinkle in robert mueller's investigation former manhattan madam kristin davisd and jailed after her scandal around former new york governor eliot spitzer is now added to the list of those robert mueller wants to question. davis is known for running a prostitution service in manhattan nearly a decade ago. davis is a longtime roger stone associate. she believes mueller wants to talk to her about political work she's done for him. here is what stone told cnn last night about her involvement. >> she has no knowledge whatsoever of russian collusion, collaboration with wikileaks or anything else improper having to do with the 2016 election. >> roger stone -- former trump adviser said her work for me is perfectly legal. anything to the contrary is actionable and will be pursued in court. joining me with defense attorney. let me turn to you first for the basics here, what we know about this approach made to kristin davis. >> on thursday the special counsel's office called her attorney and asked do we need to go and serve her or subpoena. they slept on it and they said

kristin davis, the new york madam, that is involved in the eliot spitzer saga.lient number was it 9? >> client 9, yes. >> what is the deal with her getting subpoenaed, john? >> we don't know what the deal is. we do know that kristin davis has a long, close personal relationship with roger stone. roger stone being trump's long-time political conciliary and the person who talked him into bringing paul manafort in. he started the first major k street political lobbying firm in the '80s, black, manafort stone and kelly. stone and trump part ways in 2015. he's not going to work on the campaign. 2016 manafort comes in. oh, you know what, i'll do it for free, manafort says. you don't even have to pay me to be your campaign manager. if he's -- if he's subpoenas kristin davis, it's because there's something involving either roger stone or manafort or both. that is the only connection there can be. >> i'm sorry i'm laughing, it's so absurd. the headlines are so absurd. we should remind everybody that robert mueller when he has witnesses that he's interviewing, roger stone

garrett, how does kristin davis figure into this investigation? >> well, mike roger stone has been a long person of interest in the special counsel's investigation and that is the in no small part because contact with hacker group 2.0 which was operated by russian intelligence officers, investigators have already interviewed a long list of folks with close ties with roger stone and kristin davis would be the latest edition to that group. in addition, roger stone one of the best friends and called witch hunt, quote, in terms of russian collusion, i know nothing, they seem to be going back with him and picking up people who work for roger and some people who are disgruntled. while davis and stone have worked together on various projects over the year, someone said in the interview last night that she wasn't working with him in 2015 and the reasonable reason he can think why mueller's team would want to speak to davis because of close ties to him and in open hopes of finding something. mike: we are knowing about a conversation before he was president

elizabeth: white roger stone and kristin davis?all together because it doesn't seem salacious and off attendant -- am i wrong? >> we don't know yet but the reason you talk to someone like kristin davis would be she is a close, personal friend of roger stone, and someone he has done business with. she may have information about how roger stone moved money around or where roger stone got funding to do certain things. roger stone, of course, a campaign aide in all of this goes back to the trump campaign. roger stone may have confided in her or just over dinner or over a business meeting may have said something to her. they apparently are trying to talk to other stone associates so they are trying to figure out and it seems like how the money moved around between accounts and organizations. elizabeth: class much. is this what the in ministration want us talking about? today want to talk about taxes and immigration or roger stone and kristin davis and all of that sort of -- rec. >> right. after a week of russian talk and republican lawm
