Roger Stone says he invoked 5th Amendment before January 6 committee
CBSN
Trump ally Roger Stone said he pleaded the Fifth Amendment in response to every question asked by the January 6 select committee during his deposition Friday.
After the deposition, Stone slammed the inquiry as "witch hunt 3.0" to reporters. He claimed he wasn't on the Ellipse or a part of the march to the Capitol on January 6, and denied he was involved in the "illegal and politically counterproductive" activities of that day. What "disturbs" him, he said, is the investigation into his activities on January 5.
"I don't like to see the criminalization of constitutionally protected political activity. I think it is a slippery slope," he said.
