Another long-time Trump associate lying? Incredible! This can’t be true, because if it is, can we trust Donald Trump? I’m beginning to get worried about this president and his poor choices.

CNN is reporting that “Roger Stone reached a settlement with exiled Chinese businessman Guo Wengui, who is seeking asylum in the US. Guo, who also goes by the name Miles Kwok, fled China after using social media to make allegations of corruption against China’s political elite.”

So, what does this have to do with Stone? Kwok filed a ‘defamation of character’ lawsuit against Stone. He had no choice; everything he claimed was baseless and an egregious lie.

The lawsuit claimed that between September 2017 to January 2018. Stone falsely claimed that Guo was found guilty and convicted of financial crimes in the US, violated election law by making political donations to Hillary Clinton, and bankrolled a presidential run by former White House adviser Steve Bannon. He made these claims on Alex Jones’ conspiracy theory broadcast, ‘InfoWars.’

Kwok had asked for $100 million. However, Stone agreed to make a public apology on television and on all social media networks.

“All of these statements are not true,” Stone said, adding that he “failed to do proper research before making those statements.”

In the future someone will take the time to count the lies told by Trump and his circle of sinners. Sarah Huckabee Sanders will surely hold the record for the biggest number. She surpassed Kellyanne Conway months ago.
