Stone drafted eight tweets, some of which mentioned a possible peace deal and attacked Hillary Clinton as too adversarial toward Vladimir Putin.
Roger Stone drafted several pro-Russia social media posts at the request of then-candidate Donald Trump during the 2016 campaign, according to a new report.
Trump and his senior campaign officials sought information on the WikiLeaks dumps through Stone, the report said. Trump apparently spoke with Stone about WikiLeaks on"multiple occasions," even though the president told former special counsel Robert Muller that he didn't recall doing so. Trump commuted Stone's sentence in July, days before Stone was set to report to a federal prison in Georgia. The presidential pardon released Stone from 40 months in prison, along with 24 months of supervised release and a $20,000 fine.
Stone, who has vehemently denied any wrongdoing, was appealing his conviction but suddenly dropped the case early Tuesday morning. In a lengthy statement posted to his website, Stone said it was"time to move on with my life."
