Proclaiming innocence, Roger Stone denies knowledge of any Trump-Russia collusion

Roger Stone reiterated his innocence on Thursday, telling a group of reporters he’s not accused of Russian collusion in any capacity and has no knowledge that the president was involved in such activity.

Speaking at a news conference in Washington, D.C., for the first time since his arrest last week, Stone addressed the charges against him and what counts he's specifically facing.

“I have plead not guilty to the charges against me. I stress that these are all after-the-fact process crimes and I am not accused of Russian collusion.”

He continued: “I’m not accused of collaboration with WikiLeaks. I am not accused of conspiracy. There is no evidence or accusation that I knew in advance of the source or content of the WikiLeaks materials, be that allegedly hacked material or allegedly stolen material.”
