Trump commutes Roger Stone's 40-month prison sentence days before surrender

President Trump commuted Roger Stone's 40-month prison sentence on July 10, 2020, four days before Stone was required to report to federal prison for convictions on seven counts including obstruction, witness tampering, and lying to Congress in the Mueller investigation. Mueller's team had raised concerns that Stone's conduct during the investigation suggested he expected clemency in exchange for not cooperating with prosecutors. Trump issued a full pardon in December 2020.
