Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
During the trial, prosecutors pressed their case thatStonelied to lawmakers about his outreach to WikiLeaks - the website that disclosed many hacked Democratic emails ahead of the 2016USelection that proved embarrassing to Trump’s Democratic opponent Hillary Clinton - to protect Trump from looking bad.
Stone, who has labelled himself an “agent provocateur” and famously has the face of former President Richard Nixon tattooed on his back, was charged with obstructing justice, witness tampering and lying to theUSHouse of Representatives' Intelligence Committee during its investigation into Russian election interference.
Stone's colourful trial featured references to the film “The Godfather Part II,” an impression of Senator Bernie Sanders by prosecution witness Randy Credico, and testimony by political heavyweights including former Trump campaign chief executive Steve Bannon and former Trump deputy campaign chairman Rick Gates.
Those witnesses said they believedStonehad inside information about when WikiLeaks might release more damaging emails about Clinton. In truth, he had no such information.
Stonewas also accused of tampering with Credico's testimony when Credico was summoned to testify before Congress and speak with the FBI. In emails and texts,Stonetold Credico among other things: “Prepare to die,” “You’re a rat. A stoolie,” and “Stonewall it.”
