A federal prosecutor told jurors on Wednesday that longtime Republican operative Roger Stone lied to Congress,"because the truth looked bad for Donald Trump."
The bulk of the charges Stone faces reflect allegations that he lied to Congress regarding his communications with associates about WikiLeaks. He also stands accused of witness tampering as part of an effort to keep humorist and radio show host Randy Credico from contradicting his testimony before the House Intelligence Committee in September 2017. If the jury finds Stone guilty on all counts, he could face up to 20 years in prison. He has pleaded not guilty.
Stone spoke with Trump multiple times in the summer of 2016, Zelinsky said. It wasn't what was said on the calls that was significant, he told jurors -- the nature of their conversations is unknown. It was their timing. The calls coincided with key moments in Stone's interactions with people serving as Stone's back-channel conduits to WikiLeaks -- the organization that published thousands of stolen emails from Trump's Democratic political opponents.
In response, Stone's counsel, Bruce Rogow, pointed out that his client had gone"voluntarily, without a subpoena," to meet with congressional investigators. "You heard that Roger Stone spoke to the Trump campaign," he added, positing that there's nothing wrong with that -- Stone knew members of the Trump campaign personally.
Stone's defense team has questioned Credico's credibility, describing Stone's communications with Credico as"odious" and calling Credico"an impressionist."
