Roger Stone praised President Donald Trump Wednesday night, comparing him to Abraham Lincoln, in his first post-pardon interview on Tucker Carlson Tonight.
Trump pardoned several important figures involved in the Mueller investigation including Stone, Paul Manafort, Charles Kushner and 24 others Wednesday evening shortly before Christmas eve. Stone, a longtime political ally to the president, was convicted last year for making false statements to the FBI, obstruction of justice and witness tampering.
“We are very happy, I have an enormous debt of gratitude to God almighty for giving the president the strength and the courage to recognize that my prosecution was a completely politically motivated witch hunt,” Stone told the Fox News host.
