Roger Stone, Mark Meadows won't cooperate with House committee's probe into Jan. 6 attack

Former Trump adviser Roger Stone will assert his Fifth Amendment privilege in response to a subpoena issued by the Jan. 6 committee, Stone's attorney tells ABC News.

Former Trump adviser Roger Stone will assert his Fifth Amendment privilege in response to a subpoena issued by the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol, Stone's attorney has told ABC News.

Earlier Tuesday, two sources familiar with the matter told ABC News that former Trump White House chief of staff Mark Meadows had informed the committee that he is no longer cooperating with the probe.

Stone's attorney, Grant Smith, told ABC News that the assertion of Stone's rights is "necessitated by Congressman (Adam) Schiff’s comments on CNN that everything the Select Committee receives in the course of their investigation will be provided to the DOJ, as well as comments by Chairman (Bennie) Thompson on MSNBC where he stated that he believes people who exercise their constitutional rights have something to hide and are part and parcel guilty of the activity."

"Their statements are the very reason Mr. Stone must take the action he is taking," Smith said.
