Who is Roger Stone? GOP operative worked on campaigns from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump
WASHINGTON Roger Stone, a political operative who worked on Republican campaigns from Richard Nixon to Donald Trump, has links to several targets of special counsel Robert Muellers investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential campaign.
Stone was arrested Friday after a federal grand jury indicted him on charges of lying about special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. He faces a court appearance later in the day in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Stones former business partner from years before they each worked on the Trump campaign, Paul Manafort, has been convicted on a variety of bank, tax and witness-tampering charges.
Stone previously acknowledged he is likely the unnamed person in the indictment of Russian military intelligence officers charged with hacking Democratic computers.
One Stone aide during the campaign, Andrew Miller, is fighting in federal appeals court to avoid a subpoena to testify before Muellers grand jury. Another Stone associate, Jerome Corsi, has said he expects to be indicted for perjury.
