L ongtime GOP operative Roger Stone was visibly enraged when he discovered that former President Donald Trump opted not to pardon him following the 2020 election uproar, newly released footage revealed.

In the video, Stone was shown traveling in a car, believed to be on President Joe Biden’s Inauguration Day, seething on the phone while openly musing about coming to blows with Jared Kushner and blasting Ivanka Trump as an "abortionist b****."

“Jared Kushner has an IQ of 70. He’s coming to Miami. We will eject him from Miami very quickly; he will be leaving very quickly,” Stone said, visibly irked. “He has 100 security guards. I will have 5,000 security guards. You want to fight. Let’s fight. F*** you, f*** you and your abortionist b**** daughter."

The "abortionist b**** daughter" retort referred to Ivanka, filmmaker Christoffer Guldbrandsen, who was part of a Danish camera crew that filmed the clip, told the Daily Beast.

The clip is part of an unreleased documentary titled A Storm Foretold. The team followed Stone around for roughly two years.

Panelists on the Jan. 6 committee reportedly hand-selected the clip from the documentary but declined to showcase it during its public hearings. Stone had been keen on winning a pardon from Trump for his actions surrounding the events of Jan. 6.

In a statement emailed to the Washington Examiner, Stone claimed the footage was a "DEEP FAKE video being pedaled by the Danes."

"Can u see my mouth moving? Puh-Leez," he wrote, adding that he planned to take legal action against the filmmakers.

Stone continued that he sought a second pardon "not because of any misdeed regarding January 6th but because I foresaw that using the Patriot Act the DOJ would criminalize free speech and prosecute those who exercised their free speech rights to question the outcome of the election. I urged a pardon for EVERY REPUBLICAN MEMBER OF CONGRESS and EVERY TRUMP SUPPORTER who questioned the outcome of the election including myself. It was reported at the time."

Stone previously tapped members of the Proud Boys for protection. The Danish filmmakers also filmed him meeting with the Oath Keepers — something that the Jan. 6 committee showcased during its public hearings. Members of both right-wing groups have faced charges for their activity in the run-up to the Capitol riot. Stone has not.

"Any claim or assertion that I was involved at any time in any effort of any kind by any person or group to delay, hinder or otherwise obstruct the certification of presidential electors by Congress, pursuant to the Constitution of the United States, is also categorically false," Stone said in a statement following the public hearing Thursday.

Many allies of Trump famously feuded with Kushner, including Peter Navarro, Steve Bannon, Chris Christie, and more. Notably, despite Stone's disparagement of Ivanka Trump as an "abortionist b****," she has publicly billed herself as "pro-life." Stone recently blasted Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for proposing a national abortion ban.

Trump had previously commuted a 40-month sentence against Stone for alleged obstruction of congressional inquiries into Russia's meddling in the 2016 election. The former president then later bumped that up to a full pardon. However, Stone was keen on receiving a second pardon to shield him from prosecution over the 2020 election.

Prior footage from A Storm Foretold showed Stone similarly irate at Trump for not issuing a pardon and even openly musing about backing Trump's impeachment. Stone had hatched a plan known as the “Stone Plan” to secure blanket pardons for himself and others. In the time since, Stone appears to have warmed up to Trump again — at least publicly.

Stone has threatened to file a $25 million lawsuit against Guldbrandsen and his film partner, per the Daily Beast.

The Washington Examiner attempted to contact representatives for Stone and Kushner for comment.
