(WASHINGTON EXAMINER) – Roger Stone, a longtime ally and adviser to former President Donald Trump, appeared before the House Select Committee to Investigate the Jan. 6 Attack on Friday and asserted his Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination in response to every question asked.
In an email from his legal defense fund asking for donations to help with his legal expenses, Stone said he took the Fifth Amendment “not because I have done anything wrong — but because I recognize the whole thing as an elaborate trap.”
“Considering that I was not present on the Ellipse, did not march to the Capitol and was not at the Capitol and know nothing whatsoever about the illegal events that day it is obvious that this is just another transparent attempt by Trump hating lunatic Adam Schiff to frame me in some transparent process crime by twisting my words and leaking a distorted version of whatever I might say under oath,” Stone wrote.
