Stone, who served as an unofficial advisor to the Trump campaign, was charged with seven counts, including lying to Congress, tampering with witnesses and obstructing justice. Sarah Sanders, press secretary at the White House, claimed that the case had no connection with the president.
In response, Wasserman Schultz called Sanders a "skeptic and liar" who "voluntarily peddled completely false information".
Part of Stone 's indictment states that he actively sought out information from WikiLeaks under the direction of a senior Trump campaigner. The identity of this individual is not clear.
Stone vehemently denied these accusations, claiming he was the victim of an installation.
Despite the resistance, Wasserman Schultz announced his intention to work with the Chair of the House Oversight Committee, Elijah Cummings (DM.D.), to find answers.
