Republican political consultant Roger Stone pleaded not guilty in federal court on Tuesday in Washington, D.C., to obstruction and other charges unsealed last week.

Stone was arrested Friday in South Florida, but the grand jury that indicted him operates in the nation’s capital, so he could eventually face trial in Washington.
