Who is Roger Stone, the Trump ally in the January 6 panel’s crosshairs?

Flamboyant rightwing strategist and self-confessed dirty trickster expected to be a focus of committee's latest session

At its hearing on Capitol Hill on Thursday, the House January 6 committee is expected to show footage of Roger Stone, shot by Danish film-makers.

According to the Washington Post, the clips will show that Stone predicted violent clashes with leftwing activists and forecast months before the 2020 vote that [Donald Trump] would use armed guards and loyal judges to stay in power".
