Roger Stone found guilty of laundry-list of crimes stemming from his contacts with WikiLeaks, Trump campaign

The dirty trickster is all out of tricks.

Roger Stone, a longtime Donald Trump confidant and self-described "dirty trickster" of Republican politics, was found guilty Friday of a laundry list of crimes stemming from his contacts with WikiLeaks and the president's 2016 campaign.

A Washington, D.C., jury took just one and a half day of deliberation to return a guilty verdict on all seven counts, convicting Stone of lying to Congress, obstructing a House Intelligence Committee investigation and tampering with a witness.

Federal prosecutors said Stone lied in sworn testimony before the House Intelligence Committee in 2017 because "the truth" would have looked "bad" for Trump.
