Trump commutes longtime friend Roger Stone's sentence

President Donald Trump called Roger Stone to inform his longtime political confidant that he would commute his sentence for crimes related to the Russia investigation, Stone told The Associated Press on Friday, just days before he was set to report to prison. The White House later confirmed the commuting of the sentence in a statement, saying Stone was a victim of the Russia “hoax.” “The president told me he thought my trial has been unfair,” Stone told the AP in a phone call from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
