The Times of Israel published today that a revised FBI document alluded to Israeli efforts to help Trump in the 2016 presidential campaign.

The newspaper said that Roger Stone - a close associate of US President Donald Trump - appeared to have been in contact with one or more Israelis who "had good connections" at the height of the 2016 US presidential campaign, and one of those Israelis warned Stone that Trump "would be defeated if we did not intervene". He promised, "We have decisive intelligence."

The newspaper pointed out that Stone exchanged messages with the authorities that he was in contact with in Jerusalem, and this was shown in FBI documents published on Tuesday.

Criminal investigation against Stone
The newspaper indicated that these documents - which are testimonies to the FBI - were disclosed for filing search warrants for a criminal investigation against Stone, after a lawsuit filed by the "Associated Press" and other media organizations.

The documents were released as Stone, who was convicted last year as part of an independent US investigator Robert Muller's investigation of relations between Russia and the Trump campaign, is awaiting delivery of the federal prison system, which faces difficulties due to the outbreak of the Corona virus pandemic.

Sixty was one of six people close to Trump who were charged in the Muller investigation, and convicted last year of lying to the US House of Representatives, trying to influence a witness, and blocking the congressional investigation of Russian intervention.

An explicit reference to Israel
The FBI documents - which contained a large part of the details contained in them - include one explicit reference to Israel and another to Jerusalem, and a series of references (without naming names) to senior Israeli officials, including the Prime Minister.

In one of the references to the Prime Minister in the documents, he wrote: "On or about June 28, 2016, he sent sixty messages saying he was returning to the capital after urgent consultation with the Prime Minister in Rome. I must meet with you on Wednesday evening, and with Donald Trump on Thursday In New York City. "

The newspaper noted that at the end of June 2016, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was on a visit to Italy.

The explicit reference to Israel appears earlier in a text of a statement issued in May 2018 to an FBI agent to support the request for a search warrant, relating to communication between Stone and Jerome Corsi, an American writer and commentator who believes in conspiracy theories. "On August 20, Corsie Luston said they should meet (with a name withheld) to determine what Israel is planning to do, if it is planning anything, in October," the statement reads.

He will be defeated if we do not interfere
and the reference to Jerusalem appears later in the same document, in the context of the communication between Stone and the entity whose name has not been communicated with whom he communicated in the Israeli capital: "On or about August 12, 2016 (name withheld), send a text message to Stone In it he says: Roger, hello from Jerusalem. Any progress? He will be defeated if we do not intervene. We have decisive intelligence. The key is in your hands! I will return to the United States next week. What is the status of pneumonia? Thanks. ” Stone replied, "I'm fine. Things are complicated. There is careful thinking. R." In this conversation it appears that the sender of the text message about the person who "will be defeated" was referring to Trump.

The documents also reveal the extent of the contacts between Stone and Julian Assange, publisher of the famous WikiLeaks website, which published a large amount of documents intended to defame the Democratic Party candidate at the time, Hillary Clinton, and in favor of Trump.
