BREAKING: The entire team of federal prosecutors involved in Roger Stone's case has withdrawn. It was not immediately clear whether their withdrawals were an act of protest of the Justice Department's reversal on its sentencing recommendation for Stone.
Stone, only hours after Trump himself reacted to the recommendation by calling it a"miscarriage of justice."
Another prosecutor who served on Meuller's team, Adam Jed, filed his notice of withdrawal shortly after the other Zelinsky and Kravis. Prosecutor Michael Mirando also withdrew. President Donald Trump speaks to reporters during the Supporting Veterans in STEM Careers Act signing ceremony in the Oval Office, Feb. 11, 2020.
"We'll see what goes on there. The same Mueller people that put everybody through hell. No, I have not been involved in it at all," Trump said. "The department was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation,” the official, who requested anonymity to speak about the department's internal deliberations, said. “This was not what had been briefed to the department and the department thinks the recommendation was extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate to Stone’s offenses and the department will clarify its position later today at the court.
Roger Stone, former advisor to President Donald Trump, and his wife Nydia Stone arrive at the E. Barrett Prettyman United States Courthouse, Nov. 15, 2019, in Washington, DC.
