President Trump today was asked by a reporter if he would pardon Roger Stone.

His reply:

“I don't want to say that yet...”

During a photo op in the Oval Office, Donald Trump again thanked his Justice Department for intervening in the sentencing recommendation for Stone yesterday.

Again, the impeached president called a 9-year sentence "a disgrace."

Trump from pooler @Laura_Figueroa -
