Roger Stone Goes Silent as His Lawyer Enters Plea of Not Guilty

In a Washington courtroom Tuesday, facing charges of witness tampering, lying to Congress and obstructing an investigation into Russian interference with the 2016 U.S. presidential election, Stone was uncharacteristically silent for most of a short hearing before U.S. Magistrate Judge Deborah Robinson. The longtime friend and confidant of President Donald Trump, who was arrested Jan. 25 at his Florida home, entered the courtroom in a navy suit, light blue dress shirt and matching navy neck tie eight minutes before the hearing was expected to begin, silencing the crowded space. Stone said in court that he understood he’s required to appear for the next hearing -- and said nothing more.
