A federal judge on April 16 ruled that President Donald Trump’s longtime friend and former adviser, Roger Stone, will not be granted a new trial, saying that his legal team’s claim that the jury forewoman is tainted by political bias “is not supported by any facts or data and it is contrary to controlling legal precedent.”
Stone, 67, was sentenced on Feb. 20 to three years and four months in prison at a federal court in Washington on charges including lying to a congressional committee that was investigating Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.
