Prosecutors on Thursday unveiled threatening text messages by U.S. President Donald Trump¡¯s adviser, Roger Stone, to radio host Randy Credico in which Stone urged Credico not to testify about their communications over Stone¡¯s efforts in 2016 to learn when WikiLeaks might release more damaging emails about Trump¡¯s rival Hillary Clinton.

¡°Prepare to die ...¡± Stone wrote in one text to Credico that also included an obscenity. ¡°You are a rat.¡±

In text messages, shown as exhibits during Stone¡¯s criminal trial in federal court in Washington, Credico confronted Stone about his September 2017 testimony to the House of Representatives Intelligence Committee.
