By Morgan Chalfant and Lydia Wheeler - 01/29/19 11:05 AM EST
Roger Stone, an informal adviser to President Trump, entered a not guilty plea in federal court in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday to criminal charges brought by special counsel Robert Mueller.
The self-proclaimed "dirty trickster" was arraigned on seven charges, including obstruction of a congressional inquiry, witness tampering and five counts of making false statements to Congress.
Stone's attorney, Robert Buschel, pleaded not guilty on his behalf in court shortly after 11 a.m.
Magistrate Judge Deborah A. Robinson then ordered Stone to return to court at 1:30 p.m. on Friday for a status hearing before Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee.
