Verdict reached in trial of longtime Trump ally Roger Stone
Republican operative Roger Stone was found guilty of lying to Congress and tampering with a witness tied to his efforts to contact WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential election, won by President Donald Trump. According to the Washington Post, a jury of nine women and three men deliberated for less than two days in a Washington, D.C., federal courthouse before finding Stone guilty on all seven of the counts he was facing.
WikiLeaks published Democratic Party emails stolen by Russian hackers as part of a campaign to help elect Trump. Sentencing for the longtime political adviser to Trump has been set for Thursday Feb. 6. Stone had been charged with providing false statements to a House committee, obstructing a congressional investigation of Russian election interference by falsely denying that he had evidence to turn over, and witness tampering.
