Roger Stone arrêté par le FBI

Conseiller de Donald Trump au début de sa campagne à la présidence et personnage controversé de la politique américaine depuis fort longtemps, Roger Stone a été arrêté par le FBI. Il avait nargué les autorités en les défiant de prouver qu'il avait quelque à se reprocher dans le dossier de l'ingérence russe. Après des mois d'enquête il semble que Robert Mueller ait relevé le défi.

 "The tumultuous relationship between Mr. Stone and Mr. Trump goes back decades, with Mr. Stone acting as an informal adviser to Mr. Trump as he considered running for president several times. When Mr. Trump formally announced during the spring of 2015 that he was running for president, Mr. Stone was one of the first members of the team, but within months, he had a public dispute with Mr. Trump and left the campaign.

The two men have remained close, though, speaking often by telephone.

Mr. Stone revels in his public persona as a bête noire of American politics, and has taken credit for helping unearth scandals about Democratic politicians. In 2008, he played a role in revealing an affair between a prostitute and Eliot Spitzer, who was then the governor of New York. Mr. Spitzer immediately resigned from office."
