President Donald Trump commuted the prison sentence of his longtime ally Roger Stone, the White House said.
Roger Stone, departs following a status hearing in the criminal case against him brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller at U.S. District Court in Washington, U.S., March 14, 2019.on Friday fully commuted the criminal sentence of his longtime ally Roger Stone, just four days before the Republican operative was due to begin a 40-month prison term.
Trump's long-suspected intervention in the case of his former campaign official came after more than a year of the president railing against Stone's prosecution as a miscarriage of justice and a "witch hunt.", who was "very unfairly treated." On Friday, Stone spoke with NBC News analyst Howard Fineman and told him that he did not want a pardon, as that would imply guilt, but instead a commutation of his sentence, which he believed Trump would grant.
