Political advisor Roger Stone has been indicted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller on charges of obstruction, witness tampering, and making false statements.
The 24-page indictment alleges that Stone worked to obstruct the House Intelligence Committee’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election by making false statements to the committee, denying he had records sought by the committee and persuading a witness to provide false testimony.
About twelve armed FBI officers in tactical gear arrested Stone in an early morning raid at his Florida home.
Stone will make an appearance later today at a federal courthouse in Fort Lauderdale, FL.
On Wednesday night, Stone appeared on Fox News’ show Tucker Carlson Tonight where he vowed he would not lie about President Trump to “ease the pressure on myself.”
“No matter how much pressure they put on me, no matter what they say I will not bear false witness against Donald Trump,” he said. “I will not do what Michael Cohen has done and makeup lies to ease the pressure on myself.”
