The claim
“Roger Stone accepted $50,000 per month to lobby for rebuilding relations between the United States and Myanmar's military-backed government.”
Our verdict
Mostly True
Multiple reputable news outlets (The Guardian and MSN) report that Roger Stone was paid $50,000 per month to lobby for Myanmar’s military‑backed government.
What we found
The figure appears in the FARA filing cited by those reports, but the exact contract language is not publicly released, so the claim is highly likely but not absolutely confirmed.
