Prosecutors are scrutinizing communications between a New York doctor with ties to the White House and conservative commentator Jerome Corsi.
Records of Dr. Vladimir Zelenko are being examined by Justice Department lawyers after his associate, Corsi, accidentally emailed former Mueller investigation prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky a message meant for the doctor.
In response, Zelinsky, who scrutinized Corsi's behavior during the 2016 election while on special counsel Robert Mueller's team, emailed Corsi's lawyer and requested all communications sent to and received from Zelenko, according to a report by the Washington Post on Thursday.
Zelinsky prosecutes coronavirus-related crimes in the U.S. attorney's office in Maryland, an endeavor that's part of Attorney General William Barr's push to go after fraud related to the pandemic. The Justice Department has charged an assortment of people with fraud, pursuing those who attempt to sell fake cures for COVID-19 and personal protective equipment not in the seller's possession.
