Attorney General William Barr has agreed to appear before Congress next month to address allegations of the President's 'improper influence' over the Justice Department
From CNN's Sara Murray
Michael Caputo, a former adviser to President Trump’s 2016 campaign and a longtime friend of Roger Stone, confirmed today that he is leading an effort to have Stone pardoned. “We're raising money, raising awareness and assuring the White House that we stand by for contact when and if they're ready,” Caputo said.
Stone, Trump’s longtime political adviser, was convicted on seven charges last year, including lying to Congress and witness tampering. He is set to be sentenced on Feb. 20 in Washington amid controversy over political intervention in his case.Stone has already been raising money for a legal defense fund to pay his attorney fees. But he would likely hire new lawyers if he appeals his sentence.
