Roger Stone Arraigned on 7 Federal Charges

Roger Stone appeared before U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in Washington, D.C., and pleaded not guilty to 7 counts including obstruction of an official proceeding, making false statements to Congress, and witness tampering. The charges stemmed from Stone's efforts to hide his communications with WikiLeaks and the Trump campaign about stolen Democratic emails. Judge Jackson imposed a strict gag order prohibiting Stone from discussing the case publicly near the courthouse.
