have already been called before the special counsel's office. roger stone, the veteran -- owe long time friend of president donald trump has been arrested. stone has been indicted on seven counts, including one count of obstruction of an official proceeding, five counts of false statements and one count of witness tampering. the special counsel's indictment is related to his alleged contact with wikileaks publisher julian assange in the summer of 2016. stone has told abc news multiple times that he never met or spoke with assange and had interimmediate yar i with the founder. >> this is the first indictment where it becomes clear that the special counsel believes that the trump campaign knew about the hacks before this material was made public. >> stone served as an adviser to trump's presidential campaign but left amid controversy in 2015. >> we may hear from roger stone himself today. he's due in court at 11:00 in
