Danish filmmakers gave the House Jan. 6 committee video footage of Roger Stone predicting the prospect of violent clashes and saying then-President Donald Trump could use armed guards to stay in power. wapo.st/3BVUgiG
The documentary was first reported by The Post in March. The committee had intended to show clips during a hearing Wednesday that was postponed due to Hurricane Ian. wapo.st/3funCgt
Director Christoffer Guldbrandsen told The Post that he shared the footage in response to a committee subpoena.

Guldbrandsen followed Stone between 2019 and 2021, joining him in Washington for the “Stop the Steal” rallies ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection. wapo.st/3SIPE6w
His film “A Storm Foretold” is expected to be released later this year.

In a clip the filmmakers gave the committee, Stone told a staffer in July 2020 that Trump should use presidential powers to reject official results and secure victory in the courts. wapo.st/3BVUgiG Roger Stone listens during ...
In another clip recorded the day before the election, Stone discussed with associates the prospect of violent clashes with left-wing adversaries. wapo.st/3BVUgiG
Stone previously claimed to The Post that the Danish footage was “deep fake” material and denied that he endorsed violence on Jan. 6 or at any other time. wapo.st/3funCgt
In a Telegram post this week, he likened his call for Trump to claim victory to advice George W. Bush received from advisers to do the same while the 2000 election result was disputed. wapo.st/3BVUgiG

A federal judge rejected a request to dismiss special counsel John Durham’s case against Igor Danchenko — who was a key source for a 2016 dossier of allegations about Donald Trump’s purported ties to Russia, and who was later charged with lying to the FBI. wapo.st/3RpB6Yq In ‘close call,’ judge decl...
U.S. District Judge Anthony J. Trenga ruled Thursday that Danchenko’s case must be weighed by a jury, clearing the way for his trial next month.

But it was “an extremely close call,” Trenga said from the bench. wapo.st/3RpB6Yq
The ruling is a victory, if only a temporary one, for Durham — who was asked by former attorney general William P. Barr in 2019, during the Trump administration, to investigate the FBI’s 2016 Russia investigation. wapo.st/3RpB6Yq

As Stephen Strader has watched Ian barreling toward Florida’s west coast, he cannot stop thinking about all that lies in its path.

“What if Hurricane Ian had occurred in 1950? How many people would be affected?” said Strader, a hazards geographer. wapo.st/3BSCsoH
“Not nearly as many as now,” Strader said. “Our built environment is expanding and growing.”

Florida’s allure has been a constant for generations. But recent decades have brought more transplants — and more development — than ever. wapo.st/3BSCsoH
In few places is that more apparent than along the swath of coastline facing disastrous impacts from Ian, from the Tampa Bay area south to Fort Myers and Naples. wapo.st/3BSCsoH
