After an initial court appearance in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, longtime Trump associate Roger Stone has been released on $250,000 bond. He appeared outside the courthouse to talk to reporters but was often drowned out by protestors chanting “lock him up.”

"At the crack of dawn, 29 FBI agents arrived at my home…they could simply have contacted my attorneys and I would have been more than willing to surrender voluntarily," Stone says. "They terrorized my wife, my dogs, I was taken to the FBI facility." https://t.co/1FVjI1PbYA pic.twitter.com/n89dzWv8v9 — CBS News (@CBSNews) January 25, 2019

Donald Trump is issuing his first statement tied to the arrest and indictment of his longtime confidant.

Greatest Witch Hunt in the History of our Country! NO COLLUSION! Border Coyotes, Drug Dealers and Human Traffickers are treated better. Who alerted CNN to be there? — Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) January 25, 2019

Trump is referring to CNN being on the scene when the FBI raided Stone’s home. CNN says they were not tipped off, but rather camped out because of their own instincts.
