Trump adviser Stone loses bid to dismiss indictment stemming from Mueller probe

President Donald Trump's longtime political adviser Roger Stone on Thursday lost a long-shot bid to overturn a seven-count indictment against him stemming from Special Counsel Robert Mueller's probe of Russian meddling in the 2016 election. U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson ruled that Stone's attorneys had failed to identify any legal grounds that would support dismissing the indictment, which accused him of lying to Congress, obstruction of justice and witness tampering.
