Roger Stone asks for a new trial after Trump accuses juror of bias
Washington | Roger Stone, President Donald Trump's longtime ally, sought a new trial on Friday (Saturday AEDT), a day after the president accused one of the jurors of "significant bias".
The motion for a new trial could delay Stone's sentencing, scheduled for this week. His case has been at the centre of a firestorm after the Justice Department last week backtracked on prosecutors' request for a stiff prison sentence.
