President Donald Trump indicated that "more information would be coming" about WikiLeaks after a phone call during the 2016 campaign with Roger Stone, Rick Gates testified.
Roger Stone, former advisor to President Donald Trump, arrives with his wife Nydia Stone and his legal team for the second day of his trial at the E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse on November 6, 2019 in Washington, DC.A former top Trump campaign official on Tuesday testified that President Donald Trump talked to political trickster Roger Stone about WikiLeaks during the 2016 campaign.
In a written response to special counsel Robert Mueller last November, Trump had said, "I do not recall discussing WikiLeaks with" Stone, "nor do I recall Mr. Stone having discussed WikiLeaks with my campaign." Gates testified Tuesday that in addition to speaking to Trump about WikiLeaks, Stone was known in the campaign as a source for information expected to be released by the group.
In that email, Stone asked Gates for the contact information of Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and a senior adviser to the president.
