Trump friend Roger Stone denies they discussed a pardon
Roger Stone, an informal adviser to US President Donald Trump, denied Sunday that the two had discussed a possible presidential pardon at a time when Stone is said to be under mounting scrutiny from prosecutors investigating Russian interference.
Stone also denied having had any contact during the 2016 presidential campaign with Julian Assange, the creator of WikiLeaks, the site that published hacked messages from Trump's Democratic opponents in an apparent bid to influence the election.
"I had no contact with Assange," Stone told ABC's "This Week" program.
"We have had no communication with (Assange) whatsoever."
"I'd have to make things up, and I'm not going to do that."
