The White House declined to comment with ABC News.
Roger Stone saw President Donald Trump on Sunday night and thanked the President personally for forgiving him last week.
“Yes, I saw the president last night passing by the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach,” Stone told ABC News on Monday. “My wife and I had the opportunity to personally thank the President for correcting the injustice of my conviction at a Soviet-style show trial, which featured the epic bias of the judge who withheld the proof of apology for my defense, the woman’s misconduct of the jury and substantial misconduct on the part of the promoters “.
Stone told ABC News that he and his wife, Nydia Stone, were invited by Newsmax editor Christopher Ruddy to the club’s buffet dinner, where they met Trump, who was having dinner with his family.
“The president decided to dine at the club with his son Donald Trump Jr., Kimberley Guilfoil, Eric Trump and his wife Lara Trump. Because of his decision to sign the stimulus bill, it was unclear whether the president would dine at the club, that he usually does on Sunday nights, when he is visiting Mar-A-Lago, “said Stone.
The White House declined to comment with ABC News.
Since club rules prohibit photos of diners for privacy reasons, the Stones refused to provide a photo.
However, ABC News reached a source who was present in a dining room with about 100 customers who provided a photo of Trump greeting Stone with a friendly pat on the shoulder.
Stone, a decades-old friend and former Trump campaign adviser, who is often described as a political “dirty cheater”, has been charged and convicted on seven counts of obstructing justice, tampering with witnesses and several charges of lying to Congress in particular the investigation by Robert Mueller’s council on Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential elections in November 2019.
In July, days before the veteran Republican Party agent was scheduled to report to a federal penitentiary in Georgia, Trump commuted Stone’s 40-month prison sentence.
Trump’s total presidential pardon, issued on December 23, completely nullifies Stone’s conviction.
