GO TO JAIL: Roger Stone, longtime Trump adviser, denied bid for new trial
Federal judge says there is ‘zero evidence’ that Stone’s guilty verdict was tainted by anti-Trump bias
A federal judge on Thursday denied a bid for a new trial by Donald Trump’s longtime friend and adviser Roger Stone after the veteran Republican operative accused the jury forewoman of being tainted by anti-Trump political bias.
Amy Berman Jackson, a US district court judge, rejected Stone’s claim that the forewoman was biased against Trump and therefore could not be impartial in deciding Stone’s guilt or innocence during the trial.
