Roger Stone, a longtime informal adviser to President Trump, denied that messages he sent to Randy Credico, a witness in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, were designed to intimidate him, instead saying they were taken out of context and cherrypicked.
Stone responded Friday in a CNN interview to a report from the network that Mueller had copies of a trove of messages Stone sent to Credico. Sources told CNN federal investigators are examining the messages and speaking to witnesses to determine whether Stone, though his communications with Credico, tried to intimidate or harass his longtime friend, raising the possibility he engaged in witness tampering or obstruction of justice.
