Here are all the times Trump's campaign allegedly talked with Russia
When it comes to allegedly talking to Russians, Roger Stone is far from alone.
Stone was arrested Friday with an indictment that details his alleged ties to Wikileaks, which obtained and published stolen DNC emails during the 2016 campaign cycle. But his documented contacts are just a handful of the more than 100 interactions President Trump's campaign team had "with Russian nationals and WikiLeaks, or their intermediaries," The New York Times found in an analysis published Saturday.
So far, six of Trump's campaign associates have been charged in Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into potential ties between the Trump campaign and Russian election interference. Those indictments describe several dozen times when those charged officials, including Stone and Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen, talked with Russia or Wikileaks after Trump's campaign began, the Times notes. And that's not to mention 11 other campaign officials who haven't been charged, but have appeared in other indictments and reports that allege they talked with Russia — Trump included.

For example, Stone has had at least 18 contacts with Russia or Wikileaks from the time Trump announced his 2016 campaign, the Times says. They span from a time Stone "met with a Russian who offered dirt on Hillary Clinton in exchange for money" to a Wikileaks message he received after Trump's inauguration, the Times writes. Even Trump himself has had at least six contacts with someone from Russia, though he's explicitly denied Russian contact three times, the analysis shows.
All those instances and dozens more are mapped out in a handy interactive chart over at The New York Times.
