Trump confidant Roger Stone has been arrested in Florida as part of the Russian election meddling probe.
Stone was arrested on five counts of making false statements, one count of witness tampering and one count of obstruction of an official proceeding.
He is due to appear at the federal courthouse in Fort Lauderdale on Friday, according to a press release from Mueller's office.
Roger Stone, a close confidant of Donald Trump, was arrested Friday morning in Fort Lauderdale on seven charges including witness tampering as part of the Russia probe
The former Nixon campaign adviser has long been portrayed as a central figure in the election interference scandal, but as recently as January 4 told Dailymail.com that he doesn't expect to be indicted.
'They got nothing,' he said of the special counsel's investigation.
'They've tried hard, but I didn't do anything illegal. That's why I'm not worried and I'll do a public appearance like tonight's without a problem.'
As part of various investigations into Russian election meddling, he testified before the U.S. House of Representatives Intelligence Committee for four and half hours in September 2017.
He recently refused to testify before the U.S. Senate's Judiciary Committee.
Stone has accused Mueller of harassment after the counsel's sleuths tracked down and interviewed 19 of his friends and business associates.
'My cleaning lady had to go back to Cuba for a while, so I hired a temp,' Stone said.
'The temp spoke only Spanish. I never knew her name or anything. Yet, government agents found her in Miami. They asked her if I was meeting with Russians at home.
'Now, how they found her when I didn't even know her name, I can only guess. I know she had nothing to say to them.'
He claims agents showed some of Stone's friends a photo of the two-year-old boy born to Kristin Davis, the infamous Manhattan Madam whose prostitution service was used by disgraced former New York Governor Eliot Spitzer and, allegedly, the likes of retired baseball slugger Alex Rodriguez.
'They kept asking if the baby was mine,' the married Stone said. 'What does that have to do with Russian collusion? The baby is not mine, I'm the godfather. But that's an invasion of privacy if I've ever seen one.'
Being at the forefront of this political scandal has been 'financially debilitating, to say the least,' he says.
He's been involved in a half dozen lawsuits that have resulted in up to $200,000 each in legal bills. Preparing for his 2017 House testimony also cost him $400,000, he said.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
