He is described as one of the most dangerous men in politics.

His name is Roger Stone, a staunch Republican and close personal confidant of President Donald Trump.

Stone is in the spotlight now because lawmakers like Sen. John McCain want him to testify before Congress regarding alleged communications with Russian hackers.

Strone spoke with News 13's Ybeth Bruzual for Sunday's Political Connections show.

To say Stone is a Washington insider is likely the understatement of the century. He has been embedded in Republican politics since the Nixon administration. He knows movers and shakers — and is a good friend of Trump.

"I met Donald Trump when I was sent to New York in 1979," Stone said.

He published a new book, "The Making of the President 2016: How Donald Trump Orchestrated a Revolution."

In an exclusive one-on-one interview with News 13, Stone talks about the campaign and the resulting controversies that has the entire world talking.

"I would like to put the lie to this entire Russian question, because it's a fraud," he said.

When asked about his knowledge of anything on Trump's campaign interacting with any Russian operatives, Stone spoke about his friend Paul Manafort.

"My longtime colleague, Paul Manafort, has issued a vehement denial, as I have, and I chose to believe him," he said.

We now know Manafort, who is Trump's former campaign manager, did work for a Russian billionaire in 2006 — a fact uncovered by the Associated Press and confirmed by Manafort just days after Stone talked to News 13.

One thing is all but certain: Controversies that follow Stone will not be going away anytime soon.
