Roger Stone Under Investigation for Alleged Assassination Comments

Stone Denies Making Threats Against Democratic Congressmen Swalwell and Nadler

Roger Stone, a political operative and ally of former President Donald Trump, is under investigation by the U.S. Capitol Police and the FBI for alleged comments about assassinating Democratic congressmen Eric Swalwell and Jerry Nadler.
The comments were reportedly made in the weeks leading up to the 2020 election and were published by Mediaite.
Stone has denied making the comments, calling them a 'poorly fabricated AI generated fraud.'
Swalwell has stated that the comments should be taken seriously by law enforcement and his colleagues.
Stone was previously convicted in 2019 of lying to congressional investigators and obstructing an official proceeding as part of the Mueller investigation into the 2016 election.
