Roger Stone denies forthcoming article suggesting he told Trump of Wikileaks email dump

Published



Roger Stone, a longtime associate of President Trump, posted a video on Instagram denying what he says is a forthcoming New Yorker article that says he informed President Trump of an impending WikiLeaks dump of emails stolen from Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign chairman John Podesta.

“Someone is saying that they overheard a conversation in which I told Donald Trump in October of 2016 what exactly would be in the WikiLeaks disclosures and when they would be disclosed,” Stone said in the video. “This is categorically false. This is exactly the epitome of fake news.”
