Roger Stone joins Trump on his private plane to Las Vegas

Roger Stone, the political provocateur and strategist once pardoned by Donald Trump of multiple felony convictions, accompanied his longtime ally on the road on Friday.
OMAHA, Neb. — Roger Stone, the political provocateur and strategist once pardoned by Donald Trump of multiple felony convictions, accompanied his longtime ally on the road on Friday. They were together at a campaign stop in Iowa and aboard the former president’s personal aircraft on a flight to Las Vegas, two sources familiar with the travel told NBC News.
Trump was in Council Bluffs, Iowa, on Friday to launch his Farmers for Trump coalition; Stone was in attendance but did not take the stage at the event. The former president is set to meet with grassroots activists in Las Vegas on Saturday.
Stone did not immediately return a request for comment Friday night.
Stone has not served as a formal adviser to Trump since the early days of his first presidential bid in 2015, but his actions in the lead-up to the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol piqued the scrutiny of the House Select Committee during its investigation last year.
The select committee outlined Stone’s connections to extremist group leaders, including an Oath Keepers leader who was sentenced in May to 12 years in prison on seditious conspiracy charges.
