Top Trump Adviser Accidentally Admits WikiLeaks "Back Channel" In a revealing clip from The Young Turks, host Cenk Uygur discusses a significant moment involving Roger Stone, a key adviser to Donald Trump. The video centers on an accidental admission by Stone regarding his connections with WikiLeaks, sparking discussions around potential Russian interference during the 2016 election.

Key Highlights from the Video​

• Roger Stone's Role: Stone has been a longtime supporter of Trump, often boasting about his influence on the campaign. His forthrightness about urging Trump to run for president sets the stage for his erratic social media behavior, which includes controversial tweets that have not only drawn criticism but also led to his deleting some posts.
• Insane Tweets: The video showcases some of Stone's more inflammatory tweets that are described as extreme and offensive, expressing sentiments that would traditionally raise eyebrows given his proximity to the President.
• Back Channel to WikiLeaks: Stone makes a crucial slip by mentioning his "perfectly legal back channel" to WikiLeaks' Julian Assange. This statement appears to align with ongoing investigations into whether Russian intelligence was involved in the election by hacking and leaking sensitive information through WikiLeaks.
• Public Reactions: Uygur highlights the disparity in public and media reactions, questioning what would have happened had an Obama adviser made similar comments. He suggests that the ramifications of this admission could be severe, indicating a troubling intersection between Trump's campaign and foreign interference.
