Trump put Mr. Stone on the speakerphone. Mr. Stone told Mr. Trump that he had just gotten off the phone with [WikiLeaks founder] Julian Assange and that Mr. Assange told Mr. Stone that, within a couple of days, there would be a massive dump of emails that would damage Hillary Clinton’s campaign.”“Mr. Cohen, is it your testimony that Mr. Trump had advanced knowledge of the Russia WikiLeaks release of the DNC’s emails?” Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.) asked him. Apparently “to get a meeting with Trump.”Luckily for Farage, Stone was former business partners with Trump’s campaign chairman, Paul Manafort. That Stone’s call might have convinced a senior campaign official, like Trump, that Stone had access to that information.
