Stone’s attorneys filed a notice of appeal with the federal district court in Washington.
Roger Stone, a longtime ally and informal adviser to President Trump, is appealing his 40-month prison sentence and a judge’s denial of his request for a new trial.
Stone’s attorneys filed a notice of appeal with the federal district court in Washington on Thursday. The appeal was expected.
A federal jury convicted Stone on seven charges of obstruction, making false statements and witness tampering in November. His case stemmed from former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
