Roger Stone, ally to former President Donald Trump, said he had answered a subpoena to appear before a House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, but asserted his constitutional right in declining to answer any questions
Speaking to reporters after his closed-door appearance, Stone said he invoked his constitutional protection against self-incrimination in response to a subpoena from the House of Representatives Select Committee.Former U.S. President Donald Trump campaign advisor Roger Stone arrives at the O'Neill House Office Building to be deposed by the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol, in Washington, U.S., December 17, 2021.
Stone appeared at pro-Trump rallies in Washington on Jan. 5, the day before the attack, and was protected by members of the Oath Keepers, a far-right anti-government group, on that day and the day of the attack. Several members of that group face criminal charges related to the attack. At least two other high-profile witnesses in the investigation have said they would invoke that protection: John Eastman, a former lawyer for then-President Trump, and Jeffrey Clark, a former top Justice Department official during the Trump administration.Reporting by Tim Ahmann and Jan Wolfe; Editing by Andy Sullivan and Howard GollerSubscribe for our daily curated newsletter to receive the latest exclusive Reuters coverage delivered to your inbox.
