What is Fort Lauderdale’s Roger Stone trying to hide? For 15 years, the IRS has been dunning ex-President Donald Trump’s political confidant and Stone’s wife, Nydia, for failing to pay assessed income taxes, penalties and interest for the years 2007-2011 and 2018 that now total a whopping $1,997,398.60. For years, Stone resisted paying up. Now, he wants to settle with the IRS.
