Trump ally Roger Stone has been ordered to begin his three-year prison sentence July 14. A federal judge rejected his request for a longer delay over coronavirus fears.
A federal judge on Friday delayed the prison sentence of Trump ally Roger Stone for two weeks, and ordered him to spend that time at home, a de facto quarantine that puts him one step closer to serving his three-year term, according to new court filings.
Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson said this arrangement"will address the defendant's stated medical concerns" and will also"protect the health of other inmates who share defendant's anxiety over the potential introduction and spread of the virus at this now-unaffected facility."Stone had been scheduled to report to a federal prison in Jesup, Georgia, next Tuesday. There are currently no confirmed coronavirus cases at the prison, according to recent court filings.
