Roger Stone appeared Sunday on ABC’s ‘This Week’ to dispute charges that he was a conduit between WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign.
“I’ve never done anything in politics that was outside the norms of my colleagues and contemporaries,” Stone said Sunday in an interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.
STEPHANOPOULOS: You are saying you never spoke to Julian Assange, never contacted WikiLeaks, never spoke to any of that to President Trump?
STONE: That is absolutely correct. I turned over one direct message to the House Intelligence Committee between the flak for WikiLeaks and I, in which he essentially brushed me off. That immediately leaked to Atlantic magazine who then edited the context and published it.
No, I had no contact with Assange. Assange himself has said Roger Stone is a brilliant spin
master, we have had no communication with him whatsoever.STEPHANOPOULOS: And if Robert Mueller develops evidence, says that he can show that you did talk to WikiLeaks, did communicate with WikiLeaks and then did communicate with President Trump?
STONE: That’s all speculation, George, there is no such evidence. And in fact going back to the email, I think those have been mischaracterized, saying that these dumps are coming turns out to be completely incorrect. They don’t come in early August as prediktded by Mr. Corsi.
And there’s no reference in that email to John Podesta’s emails either. It simply says Podesta will be exposed to the American people, whatever that means. It’s not as if those things had not been widely published in early August.
STEPHANOPOULOS: Have you had any contact with Robert Mueller or his prosecutors?
STONE: We have not.
STEPHANOPOULOS: None at all?
STONE: That…
