Stone was arrested in Florida following an indictment by a grand jury working with the office of special counsel Robert Mueller.

He denied breaking the law and said he'll plead not guilty when he's arraigned later in Washington, D.C.

Prosecutors say Stone and at least two of his associates served as intermediaries between Donald Trump's 2016 presidential campaign and "Organization 1" — as WikiLeaks is referred to in the court document — which fenced material stolen by the Russian government as part of the Kremlin's scheme to wreak havoc in the 2016 White House race.
