Rep. Lofgren presents evidence of Roger Stone's connections to Jan. 6 violence - Jan. 6th Committee



Warning: This video uses strong language.

The connection between Roger Stone and the Jan. 6 attack was made clearer as the House committee investigating the attack presented its findings to the public on Oct. 13.

Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., drew back to election night in 2020, and the moment Donald Trump claimed he won the election before results were final. Lofgren said that was a premeditated plan, and part of an alleged scheme to derail the election process that appears to include Stone’s participation.

She added that not all is yet known on Stone’s full involvement, but Lofgren presented video footage of Stone referencing the election, and in one clip he is heard saying “f– the voting, let’s get right to the violence.” In a post on the social media website Parler, Stone alluded to a plan that ensured “Donald Trump continues as our president.”

Stone was convicted in 2019 of lying to Congress. Lofgren said members of the Oath Keepers, an extremist organization, provided security to Stone, and multiple members of that organization, along with the Proud Boys, have been charged with seditious conspiracy.

“Roger Stone is a political operative with a reputation for dirty tricks,” Lofgren said. - January 6th Committee Hearing - PBS NewsHour - 10/13/2022.
