Former Trump campaign adviser Roger Stone said Sunday morning that he would never testify against President Trump in the investigation led by special counsel Robert Mueller — because to the best of his knowledge, Trump has done nothing wrong.
George Stephanopoulos, host of ABC’s “This Week,” asked Stone whether he thought Trump would pardon him if he were indicted or convicted for any wrongdoing.
“Generally speaking in politics you avoid hypothetical questions. That said, there’s no circumstance under which I would testify against the president because I’d have to bear false witness against him. I’d have to make things up, and I’m not going to do that,” Stone replied.
Stone said he’d had no discussions with anyone in the White House about a potential pardon for Trump’s former campaign chairman Paul Manafort, either. Stone said the only person he encouraged Trump to pardon was black nationalist leader Marcus Garvey, posthumously. In the 1920s, Garvey, who was born in Jamaica, was convicted of mail fraud, imprisoned and deported from the U. S. He died in 1940.
