Roger Stone asks for new trial
By John Kruzel - 02/14/20 05:29 PM EST
Attorneys for Roger Stone on Friday requested a new trial, a day after saying they were looking at potential bias by a juror who voted to convict the longtime Trump associate of lying to Congress and witness tampering.
The request also comes after President Trump accused the juror of harboring “significant bias†following reports that her social media activity contained posts that were critical of Trump.
“Now it looks like the fore person in the jury, in the Roger Stone case, had significant bias. Add that to everything else, and this is not looking good for the “Justice†Department. @foxandfriends @FoxNews,†Trump tweeted Thursday.
Stone’s attorneys would not reveal the contents of the motion, which was filed under seal to protect sensitive information, saying only that an un-redacted version will be submitted later for public filing.
