Federal judge rejects Roger Stone’s bid for new trial

preview

WASHINGTON — Longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone lost his bid for a new trial on Thursday after alleging bias and misconduct from a juror, closing a controversial chapter in the last case brought in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian activity in the 2016 election.Stone was sentenced earlier this year to more than three years in prison for lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstruction of an investigation, but had sought a new trial after finding social-media posts critical of Trump from the jury forewoman.Stone accused the woman of lying on her questionnaire to serve on the jury — a claim that the judge rejected in an 81-page opinion released Thursday, noting that Stone’s own legal team had failed to do any basic research on the juror and didn’t meet the burden of proof for getting a new trial.“The defendant has not shown that the juror lied; nor has he shown that the supposedly disqualifying evidence could not have been found through the exercise of due diligence at the time the jury was selected,” Judge Amy Berman Jackson wrote.Also popular on WSJ.com:The White House unveiled new guidelines for states and localities on lifting coronavirus-related restrictions on citizens and businesses, as the President Trump looks to bring the nation’s focus toward reigniting an economy battered by efforts to stop the spread of COVID-19.
