The infamous political operative posted a short video to his social media accounts over Easter weekend which Stone claimed showed him reuniting with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida the night before.
In the clip, Trump spots Stone and greets him. After they embrace and Stone says, "God bless you," Trump says he will speak to Stone in the club. Before they part, Stone delivers his warning.

Both Trump and DeSantis are widely regarded as contenders for the 2024 Republican presidential nomination, though neither one has declared a run.

Following the meeting, McCarthy told reporters Cawthorn admitted to leaders that he embellished his allegations.

“In the interview, he claims he watched people do cocaine. Now then, when he comes to tell me, he says no — he thinks he saw maybe a staffer in a parking garage from 100 yards away and tells me that he doesn't know what cocaine is,” McCarthy stated.
Still, Stone asserted that the North Carolina Republican is standing by his story despite calls for his removal from committees and support for primary challenges.
