Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone was found guilty on Friday on charges of obstruction of justice, witness tampering, and lying to Congress during the House investigation into possible Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Stone was indicted in January after the investigation, led by special counsel Robert Mueller, found that he lied about his connections with Wikileaks and his communications with the Trump campaign about the organization. Stone was also accused of attempting to influence Mueller witness Randy Credico, who was in contact with Wikileaks founder Julian Assange during the campaign.
Stone will be sentenced in February 2020.
In July 2016, Wikileaks published a trove of documents stolen from the Democratic National Committee. Stone’s indictment accused him of notifying the Trump campaign of potential future releases of material from Democratic sources.
