Roger Stone released on $250K bond after indictment in special counsel's investigation

A federal judge in Florida said Friday longtime political operative Roger Stone can be released on a $250,000 bond after he was indicted on seven counts as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing investigation.

Stone, a longtime informal adviser to President Trump, appeared before U.S. Magistrate Judge Lurana S. Snow in a federal courthouse in Fort Lauderdale after a federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., indicted him on seven counts Thursday. His travel was also restricted to New York, Washington, D.C., and Florida.
