Roger Stone testifies to the House Intelligence Committee. Stone’s statement, “These hearings are largely based on a yet unproven allegation that the Russian state is responsible for the hacking of the DNC and Podesta and the transfer of that information to Wikileaks.” He also denied “assertions against me which must be rebutted here today” including “the charge that I knew in advance about, and predicted, the hacking of the Clinton campaign chairman email and that I had advanced knowledge of the source or actual content of the Wikileaks disclosures regarding Hillary Clinton.” During testimony, Stone was asked “so you have no emails to anyone concerning the allegations of hacked documents or any discussions you have had with third parties about Julian Assange? You have no emails, no texts, no documents whatsoever, any kind of that nature?” Stone lied and said, “that is correct. Not to my knowledge.”
Stone was also asked about who his ‘intermediary’ was and if he asked the intermediary to contact Assange. Stone lied by omitting Corsi’s involvement and denying his requests to communicate his desire to gain emails stolen from the Hillary Clinton campaign. He also lied about methods of communications by claiming he only had phone calls. He also lied about communicating with the Trump campaign.[i]
