Roger Stone says the British government did spy on Donald Trump for Barack Obama before the November election.

British intelligence said last week that Judge Andrew Napolitano's claim on Fox & Friends that GCHQ had done Obama's dirty work was 'utterly ridiculous.'

A longtime friend of Trump's, Stone told DailyMail.com that 'despite the quick denials,' he thinks 'Judge Napolitano is correct.'

'My own sources high up in the Tory government, who are quite powerful, assured me that there was surveillance by the Brits,' he stated. 'Of course they deny it. That's their job to deny it.'

Stone believes that he was also wiretapped, but by the American government with a FISA warrant.

The allegations came at the end of a day in which Trump, Stone and other associates of the current president had their relationships with the Russians dissected before a House panel investigating foreign interference in the 2016 election.

Also under scrutiny was Trump's claim on Twitter that Obama had him wiretapped.

FBI Director James Comey said that neither the bureau nor the Justice Department had information to support the president's tweets.

NSA head Mike Rogers likewise said his agency had no knowledge of British spying at Obama's request.

'No, sir, and nor would I, that would be expressly against the construct of the Five Eyes agreement that has been in place for decades,' he told the committee's ranking Democrat.

Stone believes that Trump was under surveillance during both George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's presidencies.

'We know from the government's database, that was leaked by CIA, veteran CIA operatives, who had realized the extra-constitutional nature of this program and spilled the beans, who became whistleblowers' that Trump's New York apartment and Palm Beach residence were monitored, Stone said, as well as 'several of his resorts, his cell phone and so on.'

The information cited by Stone appeared Monday on Infowars.com.

Infowars says the information it received from law enforcement suggests that Trump and site founder Alex Jones 'were under illegal, unauthorized government monitoring' from 2004 to 2010.

'So was he monitored this fall? I believe he was,' Stone said Monday evening of Trump.

Obama's director of national intelligence, Comey and lawmakers on the intelligence committees have all rejected Trump's claim that he was wiretapped.

'Let me remind you, the people who are denying all this, lied about weapons of mass destruction, lied about Benghazi, lied about renditions,' Stone said. 'Lied about torture in the Abu [Ghraib] prison...lied about Iran-Contra, lied about Vietnam.

'They have a legacy of lying. That's what they do.'

Because the government is denying the spying happened, intelligence committee members are, too, he said.

'How many of them are blackmailable? And the rest of them are contingent on military-industrial complex campaign contributions,' Stone stated. 'Of course they see no evil in the CIA. They're like sheep.'

Stone is almost certain that he was wiretapped by the federal government, because surveillance is the only explanation for the way his name and private conversations have surfaced.

'There would be no other way for people to know what the internal workings of my Twitter account were,' he said.

The New York Times named Stone as a Trump associate who was under investigation in connection to Russian meddling in the 2016 election in a Jan. 19 article.

Last week Stone's conversations were Guccifer 2.0 were revealed by The Smoking Gun.

'My civil rights have been violated. My right to privacy has been violated,' Stone told DailyMail.com, specifically mentioning the Times article. 'Leaking that, if indeed it was because I was under a FISA warrant, leaking that information would be a felony.'

He declared: 'I have committed no felonies, but the intelligence services have committed felonies to slur my name.'

Later in the conversation, in the midst of a back and forth about his relationship with the president, Stone also said, 'It does occur to me during the campaign that the FBI was quite clearly monitoring my conversations with Trump, candidate Trump.'

He observed that his talks with Alex Jones, Trump adviser Steve Bannon and others, would have been taped, too.

At Monday's hearing on the 2016 election, it was suggested that Stone did collude with the Russians to swing the election.

Democratic Rep. Adam Schiff pushed FBI Director James Comey to tell lawmakers what he knows about Stone's contact with the Russians and how the friend of Donald Trump knew that Hillary Clinton's campaign chairman had been hacked.

Comey refused to comment, suggesting with his silence that Stone is being investigated for coordination.

Stone says that is a 'fiction of the Clinton campaign' and 'the deep state' that that he colluded with the Russians, and he's happy to say so under oath.

'I relish the opportunity to face my accusers,' he said.

Stone blasted the committee's McCarthy-style tactics and accused Democratic lawmakers of 'mudslinging' and 'red-baiting.'

He admittedly had an online conversation with Guccifer 2.0. But that was before the hacker or hacker collective was outed as a Russian intelligence front.

'My actions are innocent,' he declared again on Monday. 'They don't constitute collusion.'

Stone says he is 'anxious' to deliver testimony to that effect on Capitol Hill, where senators on the Intelligence committee have ordered him to comply with their investigation.

Legislators are smearing his name, Stone said, and he deserves to have the opportunity to respond.

'I should have my day in court. There is no evidence whatsoever of my colluding with the Russians, or anybody else colluding with the Russians, to assist Donald Trump,' he said. 'This is a fiction of the Clinton campaign and picked up by their allies in the deep state.'

The deep state is a network of government bureaucrats the right-wing of the Republican Party claims is working to undercut President Trump.

A former aide to and longtime friend of the former real estate magnate, Stone calls himself the 'ultimate Trump loyalist.'

At a news conference Monday afternoon White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer attempted to put distance between Stone and the president. He implied to DailyMail.com that that the two men are rarely in contact with one another.

'Mr. Stone is somebody the President has known for a long time. He worked briefly on the campaign I think until about August of 2015, from recollection. They have talked from time to time, but I don’t think any time recently,' he stated.

The White House official acknowledged that the president and Stone 'had a long relationship going back years where he would provide counsel.' He stressed once again that Stone has not been a formal advisor to the Trump since the beginning of his campaign for president, however.

'I don’t know at all when the last time they even spoke was,' he added.

Having previously slammed one-time Trump adviser Carter Page as one of the campaign 'hangers-on,' Spicer did not say in his response whether he thinks the same label should be applied to Stone.

Asked about Trump associates in his briefing who may be under investigation, Spicer had said 'some' of the people who came up in the House Intel hearing were nothing more than 'hangers-on.'

'Some of those names, the greatest amount of interaction that they’ve had has had cease-and-desist letters sent to them,' Spicer said.

Trump's spokesman was asked in a follow-up if he meant Page and Stone. 'Exactly, the Carter Pages, yes,' he said.

'But those people, the greatest amount of interaction that they had with the campaign was the campaign apparently sending them a series of cease-and-desist letters.

'So again, I think that when you read a lot of this activity about associates, there is a fine line between people who want to be part of something that they never had an official role in, and people who actually played a role in either the campaign or the transition.'

In a phone conversation later, Stone rebuked Spicer for the perceived slight.

'If Mr. Spicer thinks that I am a hanger on, A, at least I was for Donald Trump, which is more than he can say.' And if Spicer had read his book about the election, Stone said, 'He would see what a total mischaracterization of the facts that is.'

Stone declined to get into the details of his private conversations with the president. He did confirm that they had been in contact since the inauguration.

'I am a friend of the president,' he said. 'I prefer to communicate by short, pithy memo, as I have for 39 years. I have the privilege of talking to him from time to time.'

The memos are sometimes about about politics. 'They're 'on anything,' Stone said.

'They're privileged. They're private,' he answered when pressed.

And while he wouldn't necessarily call himself an informal adviser to the president, Stone assessed, 'I think he values my opinion on political matters.'

Putting it this way, Stone said, 'The president is aware that I didn't collude with any Russians to help his campaign. The president is aware of that.'
