Roger Stone, a longtime Republican staffer and former adviser to Donald Trump, was caught on a secret recording showing how he would challenge the election results if Trump lost again in 2024.

Stone, who has worked in GOP politics since the 1970s and his support of Richard Nixon, spent time in prison as part of Robert Mueller’s special counsel investigation.

He was convicted of witness tampering, obstruction of an official proceeding and five counts of making false statements before Trump commuted his sentence.

Now a liberal reporter appears to have overheard Stone talking about what he has planned for 2024.

Stone says it will be “easier to stop” alleged theft of upcoming elections in some states and will use “lawyers, judges, technology” to do it.

He even said the campaign had Republican governors among its members who would help them, although he noted there were “not many.”

Stone added that Trump would go on the offensive to try to win his case in November.

“At least this time, when they do it, you have a lawyer and a judge, with his home phone number, at your disposal so you can arrest him,” he said, referring to those who certify elections.

Stone was speaking to two reporters from the media outlet The Undercurrent, which went undercover as a Trump supporter at a March 19 event titled “Catholics’ Prayer for Trump.”

The longtime lobbyist said he was unprepared for the 2020 loss, saying “we did no preparation last time, none.”

He also approved of the Capitol riot after a reporter said she was there, but added that they had plans in place to potentially prevent it from happening again.

“Maybe it’s not necessary. We must take technical and legal measures to try to organize more honest elections,” he said.

Stone said the campaign “is expected to file lawsuits in a half-dozen places” to help change voting laws before the vote.

“We beat them. (Trump’s) Georgia trial collapses. I think the judge is about to drop the charges against him in Florida. They are delayed in New York and they are now delayed in Washington, he said in a statement to Rolling Stone.

“All of the election integrity provisions I have suggested are perfectly legal and should be part of any ballot security effort.”

Stone, who remained loyal to President Richard Nixon even after Watergate, had met Trump during the 1980 presidential campaign through Roy Cohn.

Cohn became known after his death as Trump’s right-hand man, but he was best known at the time for serving as lead counsel to Senator Joseph McCarthy during the anti-communist hearings of the 1950s.

Stone sought to build support for Reagan in New York.

“So Roy set me up on a meeting with Donald,” Stone recalled in an interview. “Donald said, ‘OK, give me the pitch,’ and I told him why Reagan would win.”

That was enough to convince Trump to become a Reagan supporter, providing campaign staff with use of his plane, office and phones, the book says.

After Reagan’s election victory, Stone convinced Trump to become a client of his firm, which he remained for decades.
