AG Barr discussed Roger Stone's sentence with Pres. Trump and recommended clemency not be offered, multiple sources say, and other White House officials, including White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows, also advised the president against the commutation.
Trump was warned of these vulnerabilities, according to one of the people familiar with the discussions, who said the president was told “it was a big mistake.”
Trump's decision to ignore the advice of those arounds him was also rooted in the president's belief that his base would not disapprove of his decision to commute Stone. The announcement of Stone's clemency sparked concern among some who viewed it as emblematic of the lack of control that those close to the president have on Trump's decision making process, including his legal team.
