Jurors in the trial of Republican operative and Trump ally and confidant Roger Stone found him guilty of five counts of lying to Congress, one count of witness tampering, and one count of obstructing a Congressional committee proceeding.
As CNN reported, he's been convicted on all seven counts he faced.
Prosecutors alleged that Stone had misled the House Intelligence Committee in 2017 regarding his work with WikiLeaks to release emails hacked from both the Democratic Party and Hillary Clinton's campaign during the 2016 election.
Texts, emails, and phone records, along with witness testimony, including testimony from Trump allies Rick Gates and Steven Bannon, placed Stone as the primary point of contact between WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign, which Stone had lied to Congress about.
Texts and emails showed that Stone had pressured another witness, Randy Credico, to lie about being an intermediary between Stone and WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, NBC News reported.
"Stonewall it. Plead the fifth," Stone texted Credico in November of 2017.
In a 2018 email to Credico, Stone said "My lawyers are dying to rip you to shreds. I'm going to take that dog away from you."
