Roger Stone, a longtime ally and confidant of President Trump, was convicted of lying to Congress about efforts to get information on emails stolen by Russian agents from Hillary Clinton's campaign chief.

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.

Super creep

What a shame 🤦‍♀️

Can you make part of the deal him getting rid of those gay ass glasses

If anyone were convicted in that kangaroo court I would imagine that the president United States would commute the sentence! This trial was a sham and for you to put this as his ally is disingenuous. Why can’t you guys just be truthful?
