Former informal Trump adviser Roger Stone said late Friday following his indictment in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe that he has “never” discussed a possible presidential pardon with President Trump.
“I have never had any discussion with him or communication with him regarding that. I have no idea what he might do,” Stone said on CNN’s “Cuomo Prime Time.”
“I don’t expect to be convicted, so I’m not going to address it. I don’t address hypothetical questions,” he added when asked if he would accept a pardon.
Stone was indicted earlier Friday on seven counts including making false statements to Congress, obstruction of a congressional investigation and witness tampering.
Stone asserts he was falsely accused as part of a “politically motivated” investigation and that he will fight the charges in court.
