Mueller expects case against Stone to take five to eight days in court

Special counsel Robert Mueller expects it will take five to eight days for the government to present its case at trial against Roger Stone, a longtime associate of President Trump.

Mueller and U.S. Attorney Jessie Liu told federal District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson in a new filing Friday that's how long they expect it to take to prove their case. They said their calculation includes time for the defense to cross-examine witnesses.

Stone, who was arrested on Jan. 25 on charges stemming from Mueller's Russia investigation, will get an opportunity to call witnesses of his own as well. He has pleaded not guilty to charges of obstructing a congressional inquiry, witness tampering and making false statements.

Mueller's office is jointly prosecuting the case with the U.S. Attorney's Office in D.C.
