ROGER Stone Jr, an off-and-on adviser to President Donald Trump for decades, has acknowledged that he had contact on Twitter with Guccifer 2.0, the mysterious online figure that is believed to be a front for Russian intelligence officials.

It is the first time that someone associated with Mr Trump has confirmed any type of contact with Guccifer 2.0, who claimed to be a Romanian hacker and took credit for the hacking of the Democratic National Committee.
