Ally Roger Stone convicted of lying to Congress

Trump ally and political operative Roger Stone was convicted on all seven counts, including lying to Congress, witness tampering, and obstructing a congressional investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election. The conviction came less than a mile away from the Capitol where former Ambassador Marie Yovanovitch was testifying at Trump's impeachment hearings. Stone's lies to Congress concerned his efforts to contact WikiLeaks about hacked Democratic emails during the 2016 campaign. Trump later commuted Stone's sentence in July 2020 and pardoned him in December 2020, rewarding Stone's refusal to cooperate with investigators.
