Roger Stone’s Bodyguards Joined Assault On Capitol

The New York Times reports:

At least six people who had provided security for Roger Stone entered the Capitol building during the Jan. 6 attack, according to a New York Times investigation.

Videos show the group guarding Mr. Stone, a longtime friend of former President Donald J. Trump, on the day of the attack or the day before. All six of them are associated with the Oath Keepers, a far-right anti-government militia that is known to provide security for right-wing personalities and protesters at public events.

On Feb. 10, Mr. Stone posted a statement online saying he “saw no evidence whatsoever of illegal activity by any members” of the Oath Keepers, and that if there were proof, “they should be prosecuted.”
