In 2020, Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-New York) was not only critical of then-President Donald Trump, but also, of some of his loyalists — including veteran GOP operative Roger Stone. And Mediaite's Diana Falzone, along with The New Republic and The Guardian, is reporting that Stone was so angry with Nadler and Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-California) that year that he made threatening remarks about them.

Falzone reports that Mediaite has obtained a copy of a recording in which Stone, in a Florida restaurant, is heard telling ally Sal Greco, "It's time to do it. Let's go find Swalwell. It's time to do it. Then, we'll see how brave the rest of them are. It's time to do it. It's either Nadler or Swalwell has to die before the election. They need to get the message. Let's go find Swalwell and get this over with. I'm just not putting up with this s*** anymore."

On July 10, 2020, Nadler tweeted comments critical of Trump and Stone, posting, "A jury found Roger Stone guilty. By commuting his sentence, President Trump has infected our judicial system with partisanship and cronyism and attacked the rule of law. @House Judiciary will conduct an aggressive investigation into this brazen corruption."
