Trump ally Roger Stone arrested, indicted by Robert Mueller

Donald Trump’s longtime confidant Roger Stone has been charged with witness tampering, obstruction and making false statements about his interactions related to the release by WikiLeaks of hacked emails during the 2016 U.S. presidential election. The indictment stems from the U.S. special counsel's Russia probe, but does not accuse Stone of co-ordinating with the Russian government's election interference in 2016. Stone is scheduled to appear in court in Florida later Friday.

Stone's attorney, Grant Smith, told CNN in a statement that Stone's misstatements were due to forgetfulness and were "immaterial." He also said Stone did not receive materials from WikiLeaks ahead of their public release.
