CNN - Trump is widely expected to pardon or commute Roger Stone's sentence

NEW tonight from @kaitlancollins @Kevinliptakcnn:

Trump is widely expected to pardon or commute Roger Stone’s sentence, according to at least half a dozen sources close to the President.





President Donald Trump implied in a pair of interviews Thursday that he was ready to grant clemency to Roger Stone, his friend and ally who was convicted of, among other things, lying to Congress and is set to go to prison this month.

Trump is widely expected to pardon or commute Stone's sentence, according to at least half a dozen sources close to the President.

Asked by Fox News host Sean Hannity whether he's considered a pardon or commutation for Stone, Trump said during a phone interview, "I am always thinking."

"You'll be watching like everyone else in this case," he said.

Not many, maybe, but it adds to the obviousness of his complicity with corruption.
