former campaign aide, has been arrested in florida, charged by special counsel robert mueller with obstruction, witness tampering, making false statements to congress, all connected to what he knew about the hacking of hillary clinton's e-mails during the 2016 campaign. and what he told the trump campaign about those leaks. let's go back to pierre thomas for all the later. good morning, pierre. >> reporter: good morning, george. stone is charged with obstruction of an official proceeding and five counts of making false statements and one of witness tampering. george, this is all about wikileaks which obtained hacked information about the dnc and clinton campaign chairman john podesta and then released the documents during the 2016 campaign. the u.s. intelligence community concluded that the documents, which had embarrassing information about clinton, was hacked by the russian government in an effort to help the trump campaign. according to charges, in the summer of 2016 stone spoke to senior trump campaign officials about wikileaks and the damaging information it had on clinton. the special counsel alleges that senior trump campaign officials

were interested in the wikileaks information and sought updates from stone. the special counsel claims once stone learned that congressional intelligence committees and the fbi had opened investigations regarding russian interference into the 2016 election, stone took steps to disrupt the investigation by making false statements to congress, hiding evidence and trying to persuade a witness to make a false statement, george. >> pierre thomas, we will be watching later when he appears in court down in florida. pierre thomas, thanks very much. staying in politics, another democrat has made her run for president official overnight. representative tulsi gabbard from hawaii releasing a video announcing her candidacy. she's a combat vet, serving in iraq and kuwait. she's 1 of 9 democrats who have officially signaled that they're running so far, but that number as we all know will be well into the double digits probably pretty soon. >> and she's now the youngest one. just a few months younger than

sober life. famous friends like dax shepard, sofia bush, and lily collins coming to his defense. saying i choose to share this because too many people want to shame people with addiction and mental health issues back into the shadows. my choice is to crack the window open so others can see what's possible on the other side. for "good morning america," kayna whitworth, abc news, los angeles. >> our thanks to kayna for that. let's bring in dr. drew to talk about it more. i watched that and thought kevin made a lot of sense and the instagram post is probably going to help a lot of people. what was your reaction? >> 100%, george. 100%. i'm actually angry at people who spend their time judging what this man is doing. what he is doing is precisely what you should do. look, would these people be judging him if he were talking about a heart or lung condition? it's bizarre to me that we still treat conditions in the brain differently than we treat conditions say in our thorax. it's an organ, it gets sick and

in this case, it's alcoholism. and it has a treatment. and by the way, rigorous hone honesty, which is what he's doing here, is a key ingredient in his sustained sobriety. >> but all parents struggle with how much honesty is good for children at what age. you know, how much information should you pass over. >> right, george, two issues here.can begin talking to them, as soon as they can understand in your opinion and don't want to force the information down their throat but where is dad going in the evening? he goes to these meetings. you don't them to seem secret. or peculiar. he has a condition. it's associated with some behaviors and for him to stay well he goes to these meetings and all the kids want to know is that dad is okay. now, in terms of how honest to be, george, there is a wrinkle here. if you are not an alcoholic, an addict, and want your kids to be abstinent, to have zero tolerance as your goal do not talk to your kids about what you did or did not do in high school or college, but never be dishonest to your kids.

it's just you don't have to answer every question. you just say look -- >> announcer: this is an abc news special report. now reporting, george stephanopoulos. >> good morning. we are coming on the air now with breaking news in the russia investigation. the president's long-time political adviser, roger stone, has been charged this morning by special counsel robert mueller. seven counts of witness tampering, false statements and obstructions of proceedings. he has just appeared in aurfo,0 arraigned in d.c. next week. that's the scene in home in florida where fbi agents showed up around 6:00 a.m., went in to arrest roger stone, took materials from that apartment, also his homes in harlem, new york. again, another indictment here in the russia investigation. seven counts of false statements and witness tampering. i want to go straight to our chief justice correspondent pierre thomas. >> reporter: george, this is

about roger stone reaching out to wikileaks trying to get information allegedly hacked by the russians. the other key is that he apparently kept some senior campaign officials aware of his efforts regarding wikileaks and they wanted regular updates which he allegedly provided. but there's no allegation of collusion where stone or any of these campaign officials are accused of directly working with the russians but this could be the first hint that the russia investigation is nearing its conclusion, ge>>no fm previous indictments by mr. mueller that he believed that wikileaks was getting information from russian intelligence but there's no allegation here that roger stone communicated directly with russian intelligence. >> reporter: that's correct, george. the key here is that everyone suspected based on the stories that had been published in the summer of 2016 that these documents that wikileaks was putting out -- they put out some right before the democratic convention as you'll recall. people suspected that the russians were responsible for that hack. now the allegation here is that roger stone sought to get more and more information from

wikileaks and then when he heard that there were congressional investigations, hat tthat the fs looking into it, he sought to cover his trail. that's what the special counsel is alleging. >> and that he had communications with multiple officials on the trump campaign. i want to bring in dan abrams for more on this. one of the things that pops out of the indictment is the communication supposedly after the first release of wikileaks documents july 22, 2016 where mueller writes that a senior trump campaign official was directed to contact stone about any additional releases and what other damaging information organization one had regarding the clinton campaign. stone thereafter told the trump campaign about potential future releases of damaging material by organization one. one of the key questions that raises, who's the senior trump campaign official? who directed that person? >> right. and that's now the discussion about the trump campaign. let's be clear, trump campaign is mentioned 28 times in this indictment so there's no way to talk about this indictment and

ignore the reality that the trump campaign is mentioned numerous times here. and when talking about who directed it, i mean, that's the big question. who ordered him? who directed him? and i will promise you that mueller has an answer to that question. he's just not answering it in the context of this indictment. so that and it's important to note, george, there are two sets of releases here, right? you've got the release of the dnc documents which were hacked, but then the question becomes, all right, what's going to happen next here? ultimately the documents with regard to john podesta were released in october but now we have to ask what exactly did the trump campaign know, for example, about the podesta documents before they were released. and i think the fact that roger stone is talking to the trump campaign throughout this process becomes a critical point to look

at moving forward about the possibility that the trump campaign was aware of not just the dnc which was public but specifically that any information about the podesta e-mails that wasn't public. >> dan, the other question that could flow from that as well, did these other trump campaign officials, multiple campaign officials, tell the truth about their dealings either to the congress or the special counsel. >> correct. so you have at least two different trump officials mentioned here, specifically i think there's sort of references to more here, and most or all of them were probably questioned by the special counsel. it's now clear from this that the special counsel has answers to a lot of things that we are still asking questions about, and we'll have to see did they tell the truth in the context of that questioning because that

could be potential problems for other folks specifically in the trump campaign. >> dan, we are getting our first response from the president himself from his lawyers, from others in the white house. i want to go for that to terry moran at the white house. the first tweet just moments ago from the president. >> reporter: an angry tweet, george. greatest witch hunt in the history of our country, the president tweeted out just moments ago. no collusion. that's in all capitals with an exclamation point. border coyotes, drug traffickers are treated better. who alerted cnn to be there, referencing the cnn camera crew that was on the scene when the raid went down. they said they were watching grand jury activity and knew something was up. here at the white house, nothing to see here. that's what press secretary sarah sanders told cnn this morning. she said this has nothing to do with the president, certainly nothing to doas omhing that affects tone us here in this building. when asked directly, does she

know? she was on the campaign. who on the campaign told roger stone according to this indictment, go check with wikileaks, see what other kinds of e-mails they might be getting from the russians, she did not answer directly but she said there was no collusion, that this is all a witch hunt. so she did not answer that question directly. she said that's a legal document. i haven't read it yet. but she emphasized what the president has, nothing to see here, no collusion, whatever this most recent close associate of the president is indicted for has nothing to do with the president or the white house. that's the line here. >> that's the line there. we're hearing from democrats on capitol hill that they believe that there's more to investigate here. i want to go to tom llamas, our senior national correspondent there at the courthouse in ft. lauderdale. i take it, tom, that roger stone now getting processed to be able to be released at least for today. >> reporter: that's right, george. it was quite a striking scene inside of that courtroom. i'll take you inside. it was a tiny federal courtroom here at the broward federal courthouse.

there wasn't a single seat that somebody wasn't sitting in, everyone looking at roger stone. if you've seen roger stone you know he's a dapper person, his hair combed perfectly. he looked disheveled in handcuffs. the only thing he said in court was, thank you, i understand, your honor. he will have to undergo a drug test and once he passes he will not have to be drug tested again. as you mentioned, there was a $250,000 bond but he's going to be released without putting money down. he just can't miss any court tes. a restrictions. he can only travel here to the southern district of florida, to the southern district of new york and d.c. he's going to go straight to d.c. he'll be moved there. that's where his next hearing will be. but quite a scene also right here outside the courthouse, george. i'm going to take you around. we're waiting for roger stone to come out. he possibly could speak. there are dozens of reporters here but there are also

protestors, spoupporters that he been fighting with each other a little bit, arguing about donald trump, russian collusion and other allegation and other roger stone confidante are here to show support. i did not see close members of his family, and/or his wife in the courtroom. we'll see what happens once he leaves, george. >> tom, thanks very much. i want to bring in chris christie, former republican governor of new jersey and long-time friend of trump. we heard, chris, the president's response right there but now with this indictment we now have six, six associates of president trump who have been cited by robert mueller, the southern district of new york for lying or false statements, including his former national security adviser, michael flynn, michael cohen, paul manafort, robert gates, roger stone and george papadopoulos. you see the president surrounded by people who for whatever reason have not been telling the truth either to congress or to

robert mueller. >> that's obvious and i think as a former u.s. attorney, george, when i read this indictment this morning it once again proved out just how smart and careful robert mueller is being. he has roger stone, according to this indictment, dead to rights on the perjury charges. and listen, the other thing in here, and dan mentioned this as well, this has got to be a very disturbing day for some senior members of the trump campaign because, for those folks to now be in this indictment, referenced in this indictment, as having given any kind of direction to roger stone, it opens up a whole new avenue of inquiry that i'm sure mueller has already done, and i think one of the things that people always discount is the prosecutor almost always knows more than you do. when they went and sat with the special counsel, i think the other thing they've all got to be concerned about is whether they're going to be facing charges on false statements to the prosecutors as well,

depending on what they told them. and that's a very small circle of people, george. >> okay, chris christie, thanks very much. we're awaiting roger stone. he's set to appear, we think, in about 45 minutes. we will come back if he does appear. for now we're going to go off the air. as we said, roger stone, seven counts of false statements, obstruction and tampering with a witness by robert mueller. just appeared in a federal courthouse in florida. we'll stay on this all day long and you can follow it on abcnews.com and we'll have a fuel report tonight on "world news tonight" with david muir. d♪ ♪ sun setting on the beach in mexico ♪ ♪ but i could care less cause i was all alone ♪ ♪ and there ain't no way to touch your body over the phone ♪ ♪ i've been all around the world done all there is to do but
