A federal judge has denied Donald Trump confidant Roger Stone a new trial after he made a request for one under seal, according to a notice from the court
Judge Amy Berman Jackson made her ruling known on Wednesday, her first public response following the withdrawals of all the prosecutors on the case the day before. She has not yet acknowledged the prosecutor withdrawals.The denial was decided last week, before the eruption over the Justice Department's revised sentencing recommendation in the last few days.
The judge had asked if that had given the juror any opinions about the case, and the juror responded,"No." The juror's name was not disclosed.Republicans see no reason to investigate Stone sentencing"The fact that the juror was just one of these approximately 1,400 lawyers does not begin to establish the sort of inherent bias that should have prompted the Court to strike in its discretion," Jackson wrote last week.
