Roger Stone, the flamboyant “dirty trickster†and Republican operative, will not take the stand to defend himself against the Justice Department's allegations he made false statements and obstructed justice concerning his interactions with WikiLeaks.
Stone’s defense team will instead play for the D.C. jury an hourlong portion of the testimony he gave in front of the House Intelligence Committee in September 2017 — testimony that led to his trial.
Prosecutors say Stone tried to contact Julian Assange by using conspiracy theorist Jerome Corsi and radio host Randy Credico as conduits but misled Congress in 2017 by telling the committee he’d only reached out to WikiLeaks through Credico.
