President Trump’s allies expect he could pardon or commute the sentence of Roger Stone within the next few days if his longtime friend is forced to report to prison Tuesday as scheduled.
While the Justice Department originally supported Stone’s request for the trial judge, Amy Berman Jackson, to grant him a postponement, it said her decision delaying his reporting date only until mid-July was a reasonable one. The government therefore on Thursday urged the appeals court to deny Stone's latest request for a delay until September.
“I don't know that most voters are paying attention to that particular issue and will go to the ballot box based on that,” she told reporters at the White House. “I’ll let the president make any announcement on that he has on any type of pardon or commutation sentence for anyone.” “I have grave concerns that if I went there at my age and condition, I may not live to see my appeal a year from now," Stone said, adding he believes the president would be more inclined to commute his sentence than issue a full pardon.

Facebook takes down pages, accounts linked to Roger Stone, three other groupsFacebook Inc. shares rose 1% Wednesday after it announced the digital takedown of pages and accounts linked to President Trump's longtime adviser Roger Stone and Proud Boys, a far-right group Facebook has banned under its hate policies. The social-networking giant also said it removed accounts tied to employees of the family of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro and two other networks connected to domestic political operations in Ecuador and Ukraine. The material linked to Stone, who is scheduled to report to jail next week for witness tampering and lying to Congress, included 54 Facebook accounts and 50 pages.
