"Roger Stone Under Investigation for Alleged Remarks on Assassinating Democrats"

US Capitol Police and the FBI are investigating comments allegedly made by Roger Stone in which he appears to discuss assassinating prominent House Democrats before the 2020 election. Stone is heard in an audio recording allegedly telling his associate that either Rep. Eric Swalwell or Rep. Jerry Nadler "has to die before the election." Stone has denied making the comments, but Rep. Swalwell has urged law enforcement and his colleagues to take the threat seriously. Stone, a long-time Republican operative and ally of former President Donald Trump, has previously come under scrutiny for making violent comments and had contacts with far-right groups, but has not been charged with a crime related to the Capitol attack.
