Nixon and has a tattoo of Nixon on his back, has long maintained that he had no connection to Russia\u2019s attempts to disrupt the 2016 presidential election. He sometimes seemed to taunt American law enforcement agencies, daring them to find hard evidence to link him to the Russian meddling campaign.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Source\u00a0\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/01\/25\/us\/politics\/roger-stone-indicted-mueller-investigation.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/01\/25\/us\/politics\/roger-stone-indicted-mueller-investigation.html<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\">By\u00a0Mark Mazzetti This is a breaking story&#8230; WASHINGTON \u2014 Roger J.
