Mediaite reports:
Roger Stone has contested Mediaite’s reporting this week regarding comments he made on tape floating the assassination of two members of Congress.
“I never spoke about assassinating anyone,” Stone wrote in an X post Thursday. “Fake Mediaite can’t produce the recording they claim to have.” In another post he wrote that Mediaite “has produced NO audio of me threatening 2 Dem Congressmen. Where is it? Post it !”
Mediaite is now publishing an excerpt of the audio, which was recorded in person at Caffe Europa, a public restaurant in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, weeks before the 2020 election. It has been lightly edited in order to protect our source, who requested anonymity out of fear of repercussions from Stone, whom they believe to be dangerous.

Pro-Trump political operative Roger Stone claimed Mediaite’s report he called for assassinating two members of Congress was “fake” and said we “can’t produce the recording.”

Roger Stone is a liar. Mediate released the tape, and you hear Stone calling for the murder of Eric Swalwell, and Jerry Nadler before the election. He comments on how the murder will scare other D’s. His counterpart DID NOT deny the conversation took place. @FBIWFO https://t.co/aWAoDAaVlq
