The footage filmed by Danish producers could become crucial evidence for the January 6 commission.
Former Trump adviser Roger Stone was shown calling for violence the day before the 2020 election, as seen in documentary footage obtained by CNN.
In clips viewed by the network, Stone and his associates sit in a van returning home from a Doug Collins rally in Georgia on November 2, 2020, the day before the general election. Inside the car, Stone can be heard explaining his game plan to his colleagues.
“Fuck the mood, let’s start with the violence,” Stone is heard to say. “Shoot to kill, you see an antifa – shoot to kill.”
According to CNN, Danish filmmakers Christoffer Guldbrandsen and Frederik Marbell nestled with Stone during the process of their documentary for three years. Some of their clips will be used by the House Selection Committee investigating the Capitol riots, the outlet reported.
In another clip from Election Night, Stone can hear his crew tell his crew that even if Trump loses, “the most important thing is to claim victory… No, we won, sorry fuck you.”
A spokesperson for Stone did not immediately respond to Insider’s request for comment. In a statement shared with CNN, Stone claimed the videos had been manipulated.
The Jan. 6 commission is investigating links between Stone and extremist groups such as the Proud Boys and the Oath Keepers, both of whom have pleaded guilty to multiple members of crimes committed on the day of the uprising.
In December 2020, in the final month of Trump’s presidency, former President Stone pardoned who had been convicted of multiple felonies in 2019. Before Trump pardoned, a jury found Stone guilty of seven counts, including witness tampering, which hindered Robert Mueller’s 2016. Russia investigation, and making false statements.
