WASHINGTON – A federal judge on Monday demanded more information about President Donald Trump's decision to commute the prison sentence of longtime ally Roger Stone. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered that the parties provide her by Tuesday with a copy of the executive order that commuted Stone's sentence. She also asked for clarity about the scope of the clemency, including whether it covers just his prison sentence or also the two-year period of supervised release that was part of his sentence. Hours after the judge's directive, the Justice Department submitted to the court a two-page order making clear that the clemency extended to both Stone's prison sentence and his supervised release. The president told reporters on Monday that he was getting “rave reviews” for his action on Stone and restated his position that the Russia investigation “should have never taken place."

WASHINGTON – A federal judge is giving Roger Stone, a longtime ally and confidant of President Donald Trump, an additional two weeks before he must report to serve his federal prison sentence. Stone was scheduled to surrender at FCI Jesup, a medium-security federal prison in Georgia on June 30. The home confinement would be monitored by court officials before Stone is required to surrender at the prison on July 14. But officials said last month that Stone would be required to undergo a 14-day quarantine once he arrived at the facility. Stone was sentenced to serve more than three years in prison plus two years’ probation and a $20,000 fine.

WASHINGTON – Roger Stone, a longtime confidant of President Donald Trump, is appealing his three-year prison sentence following his conviction as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. Stone’s lawyers filed the notice of appeal Thursday in federal court in Washington. They are appealing his prison sentence and a judge’s order denying Stone’s request for a new trial based on Stone's accusations of jury bias. He petitioned for a new trial and Stone’s lawyers have alleged misconduct after some jurors spoke out publicly following the case. Jackson said Stone's lawyers had not proved the forewoman was biased or that any jurors acted inappropriately.

WASHINGTON – A prosecutor on the Roger Stone trial team who abruptly resigned from the Justice Department because of a dispute over the recommended sentence has a new job. The job will require Kravis to work with the same office he quit in February. D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine said the nation's capital stands out as a jurisdiction that does not have a local prosecutor to reliably focus on local public corruption offenses. “The District of Columbia seeks to have a local prosecutor focused on local public corruption in the same way that every state in America does,” Racine said in the interview. “I’m not really in a position where I can comment on my departure from the U.S. attorney’s office,” Kravis said.

The remarks critical of Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor, New Yorkers like Trump, came during a news conference in India, where Trump was wrapping up a 36-hour visit full of praise and pageantry. Justices decide for themselves when to step aside from cases the court is considering, and it is highly unlikely either justice would sit out cases involving Trump, including two cases the court will hear on Mar. In 2018, Trump lambasted an “Obama judge” who had ruled against a Trump asylum policy. "We do not have Obama judges or Trump judges, Bush judges or Clinton judges. He added, “The independent judiciary is something we should all be thankful for.”Trump, needing the last word, defended his own comment, tweeting defiantly, “Sorry Justice Roberts.”

Special Report: Roger Stone sentence announced LIVE: Roger Stone, long-time ally of President Trump, is set to be sentenced on convictions of lying to Congress and witness tampering https://10.wsls.com/3bTrQrM Posted by WSLS 10 / WSLS.com on Thursday, February 20, 2020WASHINGTON, D.C. – Roger Stone, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, has been sentenced to 40 months in prison on his convictions for witness tampering and lying to Congress. Thursday’s action in federal court comes amid Trump’s unrelenting defense of his longtime confidant that has led to a mini-revolt inside the Justice Department and allegations the president has interfered in the case. Trump has denounced as a “miscarriage of justice” the initial recommendation by Justice Department prosecutors that Stone receive at least seven years in prison. Attorney General William Barr then backed off that recommendation, prompting four prosecutors to quit Stone’s case. Stone chose not to address the court at his sentencing.

This was not Roger being Roger. As he left the Washington, D.C., courthouse and got into a black SUV without speaking to reporters, crowds of protesters engaged in dueling chants of “Pardon Roger Stone!” and “Lock him up!”His attorney Bruce Rogow said Stone and his team would have no comment. During the 2016 campaign, Stone mentioned in interviews and public appearances that he was in contact with founder Julian Assange through a trusted intermediary and hinted at inside knowledge of WikiLeaks’ plans.

(AP Photo/Cliff Owen)WASHINGTON, D.C. – A federal judge on Tuesday refused to delay sentencing for Roger Stone on his witness tampering and lying to Congress conviction as President Donald Trump kept up his unrelenting defense of his longtime confidant and said he wouldn’t be quieted on social media even if he's making things harder for his attorney general. Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s decision to sentence Stone on Thursday, as scheduled, sets up a crossroads moment in an extraordinary case marked by a mini-revolt inside the Justice Department and allegations that Trump has interfered in the case. She said delaying sentencing “would not be a prudent thing to do.”Stone's defense team has requested a new trial and had asked Jackson to delay sentencing until she rules on that motion. The judge indicated she would delay the execution of Stone's sentence, pending resolution of the motion for a new trial.

(CNN) - The trial of Roger Stone got off to an usual start Tuesday as jury selection proceedings were punctuated by his exit from the court due to what he said was food poisoning. The high-profile trial could bring out new details about what former special counsel Robert Mueller found regarding the Trump campaign and Russian interference in the 2016 election. "Mr. Stone is not feeling well," defense attorney Robert Buschel told Judge Amy Berman Jackson at the bench shortly after the potential jurors were sworn in, according to transcripts of sidebar discussions with the judge. Later in the morning's proceedings, the judge noted that Stone was looking unwell. Prosecutors say Stone falsely denied to the House that he'd had discussions with the campaign and some others about trying to reach WikiLeaks.

They also asked the court to order the White House to keep all documents regarding policies, legal advice and investigations about record-keeping. She sought assurances from the Justice Department that any presidential records would be safe as the groups' lawsuit continues -- setting aside recent allegations that the White House mishandled transcripts of Trump's calls with foreign leaders. That assurance would eliminate the need for Jackson to get involved by considering a restraining order on the White House. But the Justice Department refused to say that the White House would preserve all records related to Trump's calls with foreign leaders, saying the administration's legal team hadn't gotten authorization from the White House to say so. The Justice Department, responding on behalf of the White House, wouldn't give them that assurance, saying it was "privileged legal advice."
