Roger Stone sought a second pardon from Donald Trump after the January 6 Capitol riot:New York Times


Roger Stone sought a second pardon from former President Donald Trump after the Capitol riot, The New York Times reported Tuesday.

According to texts seen by the outlet, Stone — a former adviser to Trump — approached David Schoen, an attorney who represented Trump in his second impeachment trial, following the events of January 6, 2021.

Stone asked Schoen to "plug" his request for a pardon when he spoke to Trump, per the outlet. "At this point, I'd be happy if he pardoned me and Kerik again," Stone told Schoen, referring to Bernard Kerik, a former New York City police commissioner who Trump pardoned.

Kerik was sentenced to four years in prison in 2010 after he pleaded guilty to eight felony charges, including dodging taxes and giving false statements to White House officials while being vetted to be chief of the Department of Homeland Security.
