Roger Stone, a longtime associate of President Trump, exchanged messages directly with WikiLeaks, despite the fact WikiLeaks has disputed communicating with Stone and Stone has told lawmakers he had only corresponded with WikiLeaks through an “intermediary.”

Stone and WikiLeaks exchanged messages on Twitter on Oct. 13, 2016 and WikiLeaks left the door open for future communication with Stone after Trump was elected, according to messages obtained by The Atlantic.
