Roger Stone said the federal indictment against him is politically motivated and that he’s preparing for the “fight of his life” as he faces up to what will probably be a costly legal fight.

A longtime ally of President Donald Trump, Stone told Fox News he’ll plead not guilty and added that several aspects of the 24-page indictment are “simply not true.” He rebuffed speculation that Trump is the unidentified campaign official who ordered him to find out about WikiLeaks. The entire incident, he said, never happened.
