Trump pardons Roger Stone

President Trump pardoned Roger Stone on December 23, 2020, six months after commuting Stone's 40-month prison sentence for seven felonies including obstruction, witness tampering, and lying to Congress. Stone had been convicted after a trial in which prosecutors alleged he acted as an intermediary between the Trump campaign and WikiLeaks. Attorney General William Barr had already intervened in Stone's sentencing in February 2020, overruling career prosecutors who recommended 7-9 years; four career prosecutors resigned in protest.
