WASHINGTON (CN) A federal judge on Friday granted Roger Stone two extra weeks before he must report to prison, after the convicted confidant of President Donald Trump requested a delay due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Stone will now report to prison on July 14 under the order from U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson. Stone had requested a delay through Sept. 3 in light of his heightened risk of serious medical consequences from exposure to the Covid-19 virus.
The order from Jackson puts the start date on Stones 40-month prison sentence a full 75 days later than originally planned, according to the order. The order is accompanied by an opinion filed under seal, but Jacksons order notes the document could be unsealed in its entirety because it does not include private medical information about Stone.
Stone asked for the delay earlier this week, citing both his age and underlying medical conditions that put him at higher risk of Covid-19.

It's no wonder Trump was cowering in his bunker a few weeks ago.

Well, that's all he'll be able to do: try.
And as Yoda said, there is no try.

(11,885 posts)As revenge against being ousted . Stone also could be threatening trump for one , or he will talk. Stone's the type that would spill his guts on trump to save himself from prison, so this may get interesting. trump I think will stiff him like he's done many times before to others , and threaten him , but promise him special treatment when he goes until after the election, to use to con him with. Stone and Flynn both are screwed no matter what trump does, and it will backfire on them eventually .

(25,183 posts)there will be a commutation, which leaves the conviction intact. I expect one or the other if no further delay can be wrangled out of the courts.
