IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
v.

Criminal No. 19-cr-18-ABJ

ROGER J. STONE, JR.,
Defendant.

GOVERNMENT’S SUR-REPLY TO DEFENDANT’S MOTION TO SUPPRESS
The Government files this sur-reply to correct a misstatement in the defendant’s Reply to
Government’s Opposition to Motion to Suppress. Stone asserts that the government did not
“collect[] any evidence of the DNC breach directly” or “independently verify” the findings of
Company 1 about Russia’s involvement in the hack of DNC computer systems. Doc. 133, at 4;
see is. at 2-4, 11. That statement is incorrect. The investigation that led to the indictment in
United States v. Netyksho, No. 18-cr-215 (D.D.C.), gathered evidence showing that GRU officers
hacked the DNC systems (as well as the DCCC and email accounts of people working for the
presidential campaign of Hillary Clinton), published hacked information pseudonymously, and
transferred stolen data to Organization 1. See generally Indictment, Netyksho, supra (Doc. 1).
As the government has argued (Doc. 122, at 6, 9, 14), Russia’s role in the DNC hack is not material

on the charges at issue in this case—making false statements to Congress, obstruction of Congress,
and witness tampering. See Doc. 93, at 9 n.1; Doc. 94, at 6-7. * The government therefore has
not produced in discovery to Stone all of the evidence gathered in the Netyksho investigation. The

The government intends to file a motion in limine on this topic.

government produced the CrowdStrike reports because the Indictment in this case referenced, as
background, CrowdStrike’s statements about the DNC hack.

Stone’s statement that the

government has no other evidence is not only irrelevant to this proceeding but is also mistaken.
The government accordingly wishes to correct any misimpression.

Respectfully submitted,
