Roger Stone Arrested Following Mueller Indictment
Roger Stone has been arrested following an indictment from Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The Trump ally is charged with seven counts in the Mueller probe, including obstruction and witness-tampering.
The indictment directly accuses Stone of speaking to the Trump campaign about WikiLeaks.
It says Stone spoke “to senior Trump Campaign officials about Organization 1 and information it might have had that would be damaging to the Clinton Campaign.
Stone was contacted by senior Trump Campaign officials to inquire about future releases by Organization 1.” It goes on to say that Stone “took steps to obstruct” the Mueller investigations, saying he “made multiple false statements” to the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence about his interactions with WikiLeaks, and “falsely denied possessing records that contained evidence of these interactions.” It also says he “attempted to persuade a witness to provide false testimony to and withhold pertinent information from the investigations.”
