Roger Stone, former informal adviser to President Trump's campaign and long-time ally, admits Friday night that he is "probably" the anonymous individual mentioned in the indictment of Robert Mueller against the Russian intelligence officers. Stone had previously denied that he was the anonymous person who contacted online with a Twitter account allegedly held by Russian agents and "who was in regular contact with leading members of Donald J. Trump's presidential campaign". Stone said that he "at first was out of touch with the indictment because he" did not understand the earlier reference ". He then downplayed the meaning of his "harmless" interaction with an entity called Guccifer 2.0, who portrayed himself as a Russian hacker. but was revealed by The Daily Beast to be a front for Russian intelligence. Mueller's latest indictment against 12 Russians is "not a conviction," Stone told CNN's Chris Cuomo. "Even Russian intelligence agents in the United States have a presumption of innocence until they are found guilty," he said.
