BREAKING: Judge rejects secret request by Roger Stone as Trump hints at possible pardon
As the most reliable and balanced news aggregation service on the internet, DML News App offers the following information published by CNBC:
A judge rejected Roger Stone’s previously secret request for a new criminal trial, according to a court filing unsealed Wednesday, just as Pesident Donald Trump said that his longtime friend and political advisor was treated “very badly” by prosecutors.
A Republican operative who is a self-proclaimed dirty trickster, Stone was convicted last fall of lying to Congress about his contacts with the document disclosure group WikiLeaks during the 2016 presidential election, and witness tampering by pressuring his associate, comedian Randy Credico, to endorse his lies.
The article goes on to state the following:
The career prosecutors, who had proposed a prison term of between seven to nine years for Stone, quit the case after learning that the Justice Department would urge a lighter prison term than that.
Trump wouldn’t answer whether he was considering a pardon for Stone.
“I don’t want to say yet,” Trump replied when asked.
