Roger Stone, the long-time Donald Trump confidant indicted last month for lying to Congress about communications to WikiLeaks, was sued for defamation by conspiracy theorist and author Jerome Corsi, who plays a central role in the criminal case.
Corsi claims Stone began waging a public-relations campaign to “smear, defame, intimidate and threaten” him after Stone concluded he was going to be charged by Special Counsel Robert Mueller. The author seeks more than $25 million in damages in a complaint filed late Thursday in Washington federal court.
