- Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team found communications about hacked Democratic Party emails between Trump advisor Roger Stone and WikiLeaks, according to Friday court filings.
- The evidence was gathered during a separate probe of Russian intelligence officers, who were charged with hacking this summer.
- In a statement to Reuters, Stone said the evidence was “innocuous Twitter direct messages” that were previously disclosed to the House Intelligence Committee and “prove absolutely nothing."
- Mueller, however, did not say at the time that he had evidence of communications with WikiLeaks.
