A Fox News report revealed on Friday that Donald Trump could offer former campaign aide Roger Stone clemency “as early as Friday evening.”

According to NBC News’ Howard Fineman, Stone told him that he believed Trump will reduce his sentence because he could easily reveal things about the president.

“He knows I was under enormous pressure to turn on him. It would have eased my situation considerably. But I didn’t.”

“The president, as recently as Friday morning, has said he was ‘looking at’ offering Stone clemency, saying he was ‘very unfairly treated,’” Fox News notes.

Stone insists he is not guilty.

“If I should be fortunate enough to get a commutation, I would continue to fight for vindication,” Stone claimed.

“I have deep concerns about going to a prison where there absolutely is COVID virus, and, therefore, either one would have an effect of saving my life,” He added.

NBC News adds that “President Donald Trump’s allies expect he could pardon or commute the sentence of Roger Stone within the next few days,” but warns, “some of them are concerned such a move could further damage the president politically when he’s already facing headwinds less than four months before the November election.”
