Trump says he hasn’t ‘thought’ about Roger Stone pardon
PALM BEACH — President Donald Trump said Tuesday he has not given thought to a pardon for longtime political confidant and Republican operative Roger Stone, who was convicted in November of lying to Congress to protect the president.
“You know Roger Stone was not involved in my campaign in any way other than the very, very beginning before I think, long before I announced, a little bit,” he said, lumping in what he called “unfair” treatment to another associate, former Chief of Staff Michael Flynn before redirecting blame to Hillary Clinton.“He got hit very hard as did General [Mike] Flynn, as did a lot of other people who got hit very, very hard and now they’re finding out it was all a big hoax,” the President said.
Just this past February, during an appearance in Boca Raton, Stone said the charges against him were in retaliation for his “effective” efforts to help Trump beat Hillary Clinton in 2016. In other interviews and speeches, Stone has flatly stated he would defend Trump “who I’ve known for 40 years,”On Tuesday, Trump said Stone is “a nice guy” who has been wrongly targeted.
