Stone said he invoked the Fifth Amendment to each substantive question in his January 6 committee deposition and refused to produce requested documents. He called the inquiry political. The committee later stated it did not rely on adverse inferences from Stone or other witnesses invoking the constitutional privilege, so the invocation is not encoded as evidence of guilt.
