Roger Stone Asserts Fifth Amendment Rights in Jan 6 Probe, Citing Congressional Partisanship and a History of Leaks and Lies
Longtime political operative and Trump advisor Roger Stone has formally notified the secretive (and highly partisan) January 6th Committee of the United States House of Representatives that he will not comply with their document request or demands for a deposition asserting his Fifth Amendment Rights, according to a two-page letter Stone’s lawyer sent to the Committee which was obtained by The Gateway Pundit.
Stone has said repeatedly that he was not on The Ellipse, did not march to the Capitol and was not present at the Capitol on January 6th. Various fake news outlets have attempted to utilize the technique of “Guilt by Association” in order to falsely connect Stone to the illegal events of January 6th. In fact, Reuters reported in August that senior FBI officials had investigated and found no evidence that Roger Stone was involved in the January 6th incidents at the Capitol.
