Roger Stone has unexpectedly dropped the appeal of his seven federal felony convictions for seeking to thwart a House investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia
Longtime Trump confidant .
Back in February, Trump said he was not inclined to get involved in Stone’s case and believed Stone had “a very good chance of exoneration.” “Mr. Stone just could not put himself through that again — and that would have been the best case scenario,” the attorney said, adding that a ruling last month rejecting his bid to delay his sentence signaled the frosty reception he was likely to get. “Pursuing the appeal, especially at considerable time [and] expense, seemed futile to him. That seems like a reasonable conclusion.”
A jury convicted Stone last November of all seven charges initially filed by special counsel Robert Mueller’s office: five felony counts of lying to Congressional investigators, one count of obstructing a congressional probe and one count of witness tampering.
