The Danish documentary filmmaker — who had remortgaged his home and raided his retirement savings to help finance the film — said his doctors described stress as a factor in the heart attack, and he said the Stone project was the source of that stress. wapo.st/3ILI5qU
The film, “A Storm Foretold,” follows Stone as he worked behind the scenes to aid Trump’s effort to overturn the 2020 election.
In advance of its expected release, reporters from The Post reviewed more than 20 hours of video filmed for the documentary. wapo.st/3ILI5qU
As a mob ransacked the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, Roger Stone, Donald Trump’s longest-serving political adviser, hurried to pack his suitcase inside his elegant suite in the Willard hotel, exclusive video reviewed by The Post shows. wapo.st/3IL3sZv
“I really want to get out of here,” Stone told an aide, as they were filmed at the hotel by a Danish camera crew for a documentary on the veteran Republican operative.
Stone said he feared prosecution by the incoming attorney general, Merrick Garland. wapo.st/3IL3sZv
On the day of the attack, Stone told the filmmakers the riot was a mistake and would be “really bad” for the pro-Trump movement.
On the eve of the 2020 election, however, he seemed to welcome the prospect of violent clashes with left-wing activists. wapo.st/3IL3sZv
President Biden opened his State of the Union address with a message touting unity and the power of democracy, setting up a sharp response to Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine.
Biden went on to say Russian president Vladimir Putin badly misjudged the resolve of U.S. and European allies to counter his aggression, and said the free world would continue to hold Putin accountable for his decision to invade Ukraine. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
Biden: "Six days ago, Russia’s Vladimir Putin sought to shake the very foundations of the free world. ... But he badly miscalculated. … Instead he met with a wall of strength he never anticipated or imagined. He met the Ukrainian people."

Biden's Supreme Court pick is Ketanji Brown Jackson, people close to process say. She'd be the first Black woman in court’s history. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
A former public defender, Ketanji Brown Jackson served as a trial court judge in Washington for eight years before Biden elevated her last year to the influential U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
Jackson, 51, would also be just the third African American in the Supreme Court’s 233-year history.
She would be the first justice since Thurgood Marshall with significant experience as a criminal defense attorney, something often stressed by her backers. washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…
