Schiff: I think Stone is going to need a much better defense
By Michael Burke - 01/27/19 10:20 AM EST

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said Sunday that Roger Stone will "need a much better defense" against charges he faces in special counsel Robert Mueller's probe after he called the indictment "thin as piss on a rock."

Schiff, who appeared on ABC's "This Week" immediately after Stone was interviewed, said that the longtime confidant of President Trump, who was indicted on seven federal counts Friday, is "presumed innocent."

"But these are very specific allegations of lies and witness intimidation," Schiff added. "They’re matters that will be easily provable. These are not ambiguous statements. They’re very detailed. And I think he’s going to need a much better defense than the one you just heard.”

Asked then if he was cooperating with the special counsel, Stone said, "I don't want to address that question, but I have made it clear I will not testify against the President, because I would have to bear false witness against him."
