Roger Stone allegedly wanted to assassinate Democratic lawmakers

Weeks before the 2020 election in the US, it is alleged that Roger Stone told his security guard, former NYPD cop Sal Greco, in a private conversation: "It’s time to do it. It’s either [Representative Eric] Swalwell or [Representative Jerry] Nadler has to die before the election."

There is a recording of the alleged conversation. Now, over three years later, U.S. Capitol Police and FBI are investigating the matter.

This is a reminder: There's a timeline of the January 6 United States Capitol attack. The attempts to overturn the election were broad and deep, and some of them started even before the election was held.
