特朗普的前競選顧問兼多年好友斯通，因為在「通俄門」調查中向國會作假證、干擾證人和妨礙調查，被判囚三年四個月。他早前向法院尋求延遲服刑被拒，原定下周二要到佐治亞州的監獄報到。

早已暗示有意撤銷斯通刑期的特朗普簽署行政赦免令，對斯通減刑，令他毋須入獄，不過減刑有別於特赦，斯通仍會留案底。

Trump’s decision to commute Stone’s sentence days before he was due to report to prison marked the Republican president’s most assertive intervention to protect an associate in a criminal case and his latest use of executive clemency to benefit an ally. Democrats condemned Trump’s action, announced on Friday evening, as an assault on the rule of law.
