WASHINGTON
(AP) — Roger Stone, a confidant of President Donald Trump, was arrested Friday
morning on several criminal charges stemming from the special counsel's Russia
investigation.
Stone
is charged in a seven-count indictment with witness tampering, obstruction and
false statements about his interactions related to the release by WikiLeaks of
hacked emails during the 2016 presidential election. Some of those false
statements were made to the House intelligence committee, according to the
indictment.
The
indictment brought by special counsel Robert Mueller does not accuse Stone of
coordinating with the Russian government's election interference in 2016, the
key matter under investigation in the probe.
But the indictment lays out in
detail Stone's conversations about stolen Democratic emails posted by WikiLeaks
in the weeks before the Republican beat Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton.
Mueller's office has said those emails, belonging to Clinton campaign chairman
John Podesta, were hacked by Russian intelligence officers.
