Roger Stone arrested by FBI and released on $250K Bond, live updates

Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone is appearing in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, Friday after the FBI arrested him at his home. Special counsel Robert Mueller's office announced the arrest and indictment early Friday morning.

Stone has been indicted on seven charges: one count of obstruction of an official proceeding; five counts of false statements; and one count of witness tampering. The indictment doesn't allege that Stone conspired with Russia. It does claim that Stone was in communication with top Trump officials about WikiLeaks and obstructed the House Intelligence Committee's investigation into Russian election meddling and whether there were any ties to Trump associates.
