Trump Associate Roger Stone Speaks Out After Mueller Probe Indictment, Says He's Innocent

Roger Stone, a confidant of President Donald Trump, spoke out after being indicted by the office of special counsel Robert Mueller on Friday for his alleged role in the release of hacked emails damaging to Hillary Clinton.

Stone, a self-proclaimed "dirty trickster," faced a seven-count indictment in the first criminal case in months from special counsel Robert Mueller. He said after leaving jail on $250,000 bond that he plans to plead not guilty to the charges.

"I will defeat them in court. I believe this is a politically motivated investigation," Stone said, adding, "There is no circumstance whatsoever under which I will bear false witness against the president, nor will I make up lies to ease the pressure on myself."
