He separately contends that he has beenStone is facing seven charges connected to his testimony before the House intelligence committee in its investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election and whether any Trump associates participated in the scheme.
Among Stone's arguments: Congress never explicitly referred Stone to Mueller for criminal prosecution, suggesting Mueller can't be sure his alleged false statements were severe enough to impede Congress' investigation. Stone points to Barr's 19-page argument, delivered in an unsolicited memo to Mueller's overseers nearly two years before Trump appointed him attorney general in February, laying out a narrow view of the crime of obstruction of justice.
