FBI arrests Trump's longtime ally Roger Stone in Mueller probe

Roger Stone, a former longtime confidant of President Donald Trump, was arrested in Florida on Friday morning following a federal indictment resulting from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's sprawling probe into Russian election meddling. FBI agents armed with rifles took the self-described dirty trickster into custody in a dramatic pre-dawn raid with their weapons drawn and a lead agent shouting 'FBI! Open the door! We have a warrant!' Stone is charged with seven federal counts including five of making false statements, one of witness tampering and one of obstruction of official proceedings. Stone is due to appear at the federal courthouse in Fort Lauderdale on Friday morning, according to Mueller's office. As Stone makes his court appearance another Trump ally – former campaign chairman Paul Manafort – will also be appearing in a Virginia courtroom.  Original Article: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/artic...
