ROGER STONE: MUELLER WILL SOON INDICT DONALD TRUMP JR. FOR 'LYING TO THE FBI' [View all]

Roger Stone, a former Donald Trump aide who’s long been linked with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference, said he believes one of the president’s sons, Donald Trump Jr., will soon be indicted for “lying to the FBI.”

“I [predict], based on excellent sourcing, that the special counsel is going to charge Donald Trump Jr. with lying to the FBI,” Stone told James Miller of the conservative online outlet The Political Insider. “Notice they’re not charging him for having an illegal meeting with a Russian at Trump Tower because there’s nothing illegal about that meeting.”

Stone was referring to a controversial June 2016 Trump Tower meeting between Trump Jr. and other members of the campaign and a Russian lawyer who offered damaging information on then-candidate Trump’s opponent, Hillary Clinton.

There has been, as yet, no confirmation that Trump Jr. had met with the FBI to discuss that or anything else. Stone did not immediately respond to a request from Newsweek’s on Saturday to clarify his comments, and confirm whether he was aware of a previously unknown interview the FBI conducted with Trump Jr.

Bwah hah - Why would "excellent (sources)" talk to Roger STONE?!1 UTUSN Aug 2018 #12

You might be right, since Stone's aid was given immunity this week. mysteryowl Aug 2018 #18

Actually, ... not. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2018 #30

Okay. I had read a post on DU this week saying he was given immunity. mysteryowl Aug 2018 #32

Apparently CNN had posted a blatantly wrong headline on that or a similar story. Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2018 #33

I think it is good to correct each other. mysteryowl Aug 2018 #34

Still not 100% clear. MSN uses the "granted immunity" headline but video says "resisting" Bernardo de La Paz Aug 2018 #35

Wow. Now that is confusing. mysteryowl Aug 2018 #37
