WASHINGTON — A federal jury says President Trump’s confidant Roger Stone is guilty on all seven counts.
Stone was brought to trial as part of the Mueller investigation for his attempts to learn what information WikiLeaks had on hacked Democratic emails during the 2016 election.
Stone was charged with lying to Congress, obstruction of justice and witness intimidation.
The jury deliberated for less than two days.
The 67-year-old Stone could face up to 50 years in prison.
Stone’s attorneys had argued that he was not intentionally dishonest. They also claimed the case against their client was politically motivated.
Stone has been a longtime friend and adviser to Donald Trump since well before he decided to run for president in 2016.
