Representative Eric Swalwell (D-CA) is calling for Roger Stone, a long-time adviser to former President Donald Trump, to face prosecution for allegedly plotting to assassinate him.
The assertion follows the emergence of a tape where Stone is purportedly heard discussing plans to assassinate Swalwell and Representative Jarrold Nadler, also a Democrat from New York, per "The Messenger."
The tape, allegedly capturing Stone's conversation with former New York police officer Sal Greco, reveals Stone talking about murdering the Democratic lawmakers, a shocking revelation that has stirred the political landscape.
"Either Swalwell or Nadler has to die before the election. They need to get the message," Stone is heard saying on the tape, recorded weeks before the 2020 election.
His words, "It's time to do it. Let's go find Swalwell....then we'll see how brave the rest of them are," indicate a chilling resolve.
