26 Jan 2019; DW: The ex-campaign head and longtime ally of Donald Trump has been arrested in connection with the Russia probe. The indictment said he made "false statements" about his interactions with an entity dubbed "Organization 1."
The FBI on Friday arrested Roger Stone, a political strategist and longtime ally of President Donald Trump, in Florida. He was charged with seven counts, including obstruction of justice, making false statements to Congress and witness tampering.
Special counsel Robert Mueller is investigating 2016 election interference and possible ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Authorities have already arrested several Trump allies in connection with the probe, including his former lawyer, Michael Cohen.
Appearing outside a federal courthouse in Florida, Stone said he would plead not guilty and described the charges against him as "politically motivated."
