Roger Stone denied new trial and gag order lifted

INTERVIEW - ROGER STONE - former adviser to President Trump

https://stonedefensefund.com/

Roger Stone denied new trial and gag order lifted. (CNN) Roger Stone does not deserve a retrial, a federal judge ruled on Thursday, after the longtime friend of President Donald Trump had attempted to claim jury misconduct. Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the US District Court in DC ruled Stone's jury forewoman had not lied to the court about her opinions when she was screened for bias before the trial, as Stone alleged. Instead, Jackson said Stone's legal team failed to fully research and question her. The judge's 81-page, extensively detailed opinion is the latest high-profile debunking of a Trump-backed conspiracy theory -- and one that's likely to unleash another right-wing political furor about the court and justice system. After Stone's conviction, for lying to Congress about his efforts for the 2016 Trump campaign, the President and his allies claimed the jury was tainted, the foreperson was biased and the verdict was therefore void. But Jackson's ruling, and all of her factual findings, showed otherwise, setting up Stone to serve his sentence, absent a presidential pardon or successful appeal.

Roger Stone to Tucker Carlson: With coronavirus, my jail time is 'essentially a death sentence' (Joe Concha/The Hill)  Roger Stone told Fox News host Tucker Carlson on Friday night that his upcoming prison sentence would essentially be a "death sentence" due to underlying health problems amid the coronavirus pandemic. Stone's interview with Carlson came after a 16-month gag order on the longtime Republican operative was lifted this week. The order was lifted as a federal judge on Thursday rejected Stone's motion for a new trial. Stone, 67, was sentenced to more than three years in prison in February for lying to Congress and witness tampering.

INTERVIEW - REP. LOUIE GOHMERT - R-TX -- discuss his thoughts on Pelosi/Dems playing politics and holding up relief money for businesses

SENATE ADJOURNS WITH NO DEAL ON SBA: The Senate held a brief pro forma session on Thursday — which are constitutionally mandated absent a larger adjournment agreement. But Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-Ky.) did not try for a second time to pass a new $250 billion for the small-business program — a request that would have been blocked by Democrats absent a deal on the funding package, which has not yet been reached. “This morning, the program ran out of money and shut down, just as we’d warned. But even now, Senate Democrats are still blocking funding. Every Senate Republican was ready to act today, but Democrats would not let us reopen the program,” McConnell said on the floor, referring to the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).

PELOSI HOLDING UP FUNDING: McCarthy blasts Pelosi for 'showcasing her gourmet ice cream' while funds for small business program ran out / House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., slammed Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., Thursday for holding up the replenishment of the Small Business Administration's (SBA) now-empty fund for loans to businesses shuttered by the coronavirus pandemic "We are not in a stalemate on the Republican side," McCarthy told "Bill Hemmer Reports". "The only problem here is Democrats are denying the ability for small businesses to get their loans from the SBA to pay their employees. "We've got the Speaker being on late-night TV, more [interested in] showcasing her gourmet ice cream than securing the funding," he added.
