Trump had previously complained that Roger Stone's initial sentence recommendation was too harsh, prompting Attorney General Bill Barr to intervene.

"Now, you wouldn't know about a bad jury," Trump said sarcastically to the audience of former inmates. "Anybody here know about bad juries? These people know more about bad juries than everybody here, including the sheriff and the mayor and everybody.They know about bad juries."

"They say [Stone] lied, but other people lied, too" Trump continued. "Just to mention, Comey lied, McCabe lied, Lisa Page lied. ...You don't know who these people are. But just trust me, they all lied." Trump first objected to the sentence that federal prosecutors had recommended for Stone.on Feb. 11, calling the 7-9 year recommended sentence "horrible and very unfair."

On Feb. 13, Barr gave a startling interview to ABC News, in which he said Trump's tweets about Justice Department cases, personnel and federal judges were "a problem." Over the next week, Trump repeatedly demonstrated that he had no intention of staying silent, however. As recently as Thursday morning, Trump was still tweeting about the case after Stone's hearing had begun, and questioning the Justice Department's decision not to prosecute two former FBI officials.Trump and Stone have been friends for more than 30 years. The relationship began when Trump's longtime lawyer in New York, the infamous late Roy Cohn, introduced Trump to Stone.
