Roger Stone Under Investigation for Alleged Death Threats Against Democratic Representatives

Stone Denies Allegations, Claims Audio Recording is 'AI Manipulation'

Roger Stone, a long-time Republican political operative and close ally of former President Trump, is under investigation by the Capitol Police and the FBI for alleged death threats against Democratic Representatives Jerry Nadler and Eric Swalwell.
The alleged threats were made in an audio recording obtained by Mediaite, in which Stone is heard saying either Nadler or Swalwell 'has to die' before the 2020 election.
Both Nadler and Swalwell say they first learned of the alleged threats from media reports, and Swalwell has called the threats an attempt to 'intimidate opponents' and a preference for 'violence over voting.'
Stone has denied the allegations, claiming the audio is a result of 'AI manipulation.'
The investigation into the alleged threats is ongoing, with both the Capitol Police and the FBI declining to comment on the matter.
