Prosecutors said that Stone lied to the House Intelligence Committee in a September 2017 deposition when he told lawmakers that he had no records of communications with his intermediary with WikiLeaks or with the Trump campaign about WikiLeaks. Stone was also accused of lying about the identity of his intermediary.

Stone’s legal team argued that the right-wing provocateur was not trying to deceive Congress but that he believed the WikiLeaks controversy did not fit the parameters of the House Intelligence Committee’s parameters of its investigation into Russia’s efforts to influence the election.

Trump has in the past sought to distance himself from Stone's involvement with his campaign. He said in February that he had not thought about a possible pardon for Stone as he was awaiting trial.

"First of all, Roger Stone didn't work on the campaign, except way, way at the beginning long before we're talking about," Trump said at the time. "Roger is somebody that I've always liked, but a lot of people like Roger, some people probably don't like Roger, but Roger Stone's somebody I've always liked."
