Stone worked briefly until 2015 as an adviser to Trump during the presidential campaign, although he continued to offer his services informally, according to several media.


On December 3, Trump praised on Twitter that Stone announced that he was not going to testify in the case about the Russian plot.

“I will never testify against Trump.” This statement was recently made by Roger Stone, basically saying that he will never be forced to invent lies and stories about “President Trump” by a prosecutor who goes free and is out of control. ) Good to know that some people still have ‘guts’! “, wrote the president.


It’s expected that Stone will appear in court this Friday.
