The former Trump advisor contended he pleaded the Fifth because he\u2019s done nothing wrong. In addition, he called the investigation a \u201cwitch hunt,\u201d asserting it\u2019s a partisan exercise.<\/p>\n<p>Stone has denied any involvement in the events of Jan. 6, but has taken aim at the panel for looking into his actives on Jan. 5.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Roger Stone after Jan. 6 committee deposition:<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I did invoke my Fifth Amendment rights to every question.
