The White House announced Friday that President Trump signed an Executive Grant of Clemency commuting the 'unjust sentence' of Roger Stone, just days before the longtime political operative is slated to report to prison to serve more than three years for charges stemming from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.

Trump strikes tone of empathy and redemption ahead of rally; reaction from Princeton University professor Robert P George.

McEnany added that Mueller’s office “resorted to process-based charges leveled at high-profile people in an attempt to manufacture the false impression of criminality lurking below the surface.”McEnany touted Stone’s career in politics, noting that he worked for nearly 50 years as a consultant for high-profile Republican politicians, including former President Ronald Reagan, Sen. Bob Dole and others, while noting that Stone is also known for "his outspoken support for President Donald J.

“Roger Stone has already suffered greatly,” she added. "He was treated very unfairly, as were many others in this case. Roger Stone is now a free man!” "In sum, Stone is not legally eligible for further postponement of his reporting date under 18 U.S.C. § 3145, which is the only basis on which he seeks relief from this court. We therefore deny his motion," the court wrote in its order.

A presidential pardon completely absolves an individual of the crime he or she is found to have committed. A commutation lessens the punishment or eliminates jail time, but leaves the conviction standing.
