CNN – Longtime Trump friend and political adviser Roger Stone must report to prison by June 30, the Bureau of Prisons said on Thursday.
Stone has said in court filings that he plans to challenge that reporting date as he appeals his conviction — though it’s not clear how successful that may be.
An attorney for Stone declined to comment on Thursday. The Republican provocateur posted about the date on his Instagram account, adding the messages “#deathsentence” and “#freerogerstone.” He wrote he would not be quarantined for coronavirus when he reports to prison.
Stone is designated to be inmate #19579-104 after a federal judge sentenced him to 40 months in prison for lying to Congress and witness intimidation. A jury had found him guilty last year in a case that proved he had lied to protect President Donald Trump when the then-Republican-led House of Representatives inquired about the 2016 campaign’s efforts to reach WikiLeaks.
