Longtime Donald Trump associate Roger Stone walked out of court on Friday before noon, flashing a Nixonian salute.
Stone was arrested at his home Friday morning on charges connected to Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.
He proclaimed his innocence outside of the courthouse and said he is being falsely accused.
He says he will plead not guilty to the charges and believes they are politically motivated.
He also reinforced that he will not testify against President Donald Trump.
As Stone spoke to the media, some people in the crowd chanted “Lock Him Up.”
Stone got his start as a low-level aide on Richard Nixon’s 1972 presidential campaign doing surrogate scheduling and other assorted tasks.
He even has a portrait of a smiling Nixon tattooed on his upper back.
The tattoo has been widely shared on social media over the years.
