Watch: Roger Stone's mysterious call with Proud Boys leader ahead of Jan. 6
Trump ally Roger Stone was filmed taking a phone call from Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio in the leadup to the January 6th attack on the United States Capitol.
As Rolling Stone reports, the call was captured by filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen, who made a documentary on Stone called "A Storm Foretold" that is due to be released in select theaters Friday.
The call came as Stone was organizing the "Stop the Steal" movement intended to keep Trump illegally in power after losing the 2020 election to President Joe Biden.
At the beginning of the call, Stone remarks to Tarrio that "I heard you got stabbed," apparently in reference to a fight he'd gotten into with Antifa activists.

He then walked out to his car and asked the camera crew for some privacy while he talked with Tarrio, who would go on to be convicted of seditious conspiracy for his central role in inciting the Capitol riots.
"Stone had been busy, launching ‘Stop the Steal’ and mobilizing Trump allies and had just gotten off the phone with General Flynn, when Enrique Tarrio, the national leader of the Proud Boys called. Tarrio’s voice was inaudible, but Stone is heard telling him that he is still waiting for an update from the campaign — before he says he needs to talk without the camera rolling,” Guldbrandsen explained to Rolling Stone.
Stone has long been linked with the Proud Boys, members of which he hired to be his personal security guards. Despite this, Stone has not yet been criminally charged in relation to the January 6th Capitol riots.
