Roger Stone saw President Donald Trump on Sunday night and personally thanked the president for the pardon for last week.
“Yes, I saw the president last night at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach,” Stone told ABC News Monday. “My wife and I had the opportunity to personally thank the president for correcting the injustice of my conviction in a trial on the Soviet-style program, which featured the epic bias of the judge who withheld exculpatory evidence from my defense, misconduct by the jury judge and substantial misconduct by prosecutors. “
Stone told ABC News that he and his wife, Nydia Stone, were guests of Newsmax editor Christopher Ruddy at the club’s buffet dinner, where they met Trump, who was eating with the family.
“The president decided to dine at the club with his son Donald Trump Jr., Kimberley Guilfoil, Eric Trump and his wife Lara Trump. Due to his decision to sign the stimulus bill, it was unclear whether the president would dine. at the club, which he usually does on Sunday nights when he visits Sea-A-Lake, ”Stone said.

Because club rules prohibit photos of diners for privacy reasons, the Stones declined to provide a photo.
However, ABC News came to a source who was present in a dining room of about 100 diners who provided a photo of Trump greeting Stone with a friendly pat on the shoulder.
Stone, a friend of decades and a former Trump campaign adviser who is often described as a “dirty mocker” politician, was charged and convicted on a seven-count charge of obstruction of justice, manipulation of witnesses and multiple allegations of lies. in Congress Councilor Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the November 2019 presidential elections.
In July, days before the veteran Republican Party agent showed up at a federal prison in Georgia, Trump commuted Stone’s 40-month prison sentence.
