US President Trump adviser Roger Stone, self-proclaimed 'dirty trickster,' guilty on all charges

President Donald Trump's longtime adviser Roger Stone convicted on all charges by a federal court jury that found the veteran Republican operative and self-proclaimed"dirty trickster" guilty in probe into Russia election meddling.

Stone was arrested in January at his home in Florida on charges brought by then special counsel Robert Mueller as part of the Russia investigation. Stone had argued that the charges against him were politically-motivated but prosecutors demonstrated how he lied and bullied witnesses to protect Trump from embarrassment.

Former campaign official Rick Gates testified that he was in the car when Trump took a call from Stone in late July 2016. After the call, Trump told Gates that "more information would be coming" about WikiLeaks.
