Roger Stone will be sentenced Thursday despite his ongoing bid to overturn conviction

Republican strategist Roger Stone, a close friend of President Trump, will be sentenced Thursday despite his ongoing efforts to overturn the guilty verdicts against him, a federal judge in Washington federal court ruled.

“There’s been a lot of work that’s gone into the sentencing,” U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Tuesday. “It makes sense to proceed.”

“Execution of the sentence will be deferred” while she decided on whether Stone deserves a new trial, Jackson said.

“I’m willing to make sure that there are no consequences that flow from the announcement of what the sentencing will be,” she said.
