RUSSIA/TRUMP PEOPLE/ROGER STONE: ” ‘The New York Times reported that you’re among a couple of Trump associates under federal investigation for alleged ties to Russia. Is there any truth to those reports–have you been contacted by anyone in the intelligence community?’
‘I have not been contacted by anybody in law enforcement. There is absolutely no foundation to this whatsoever. The intelligence community could not have found email transmissions or financial transactions involving me and the Russians and the Trump campaign because there are none. I have no Russian clients. I have no Russian contacts. I have no Russian money. I have no Russian influences. I do like Russian vodka. This thing is a canard. Were the Russians hacking us? Maybe. But did they affect the election in any way? No.’ “
