During an Oval Office photo-op Wednesday with the President of Ecuador, President Trump addressed the criminal sentencing of his former campaign manager Roger Stone for lying to Congress, saying he doesn't "want to say... yet" whether he would consider pardoning him. Trump said his tweet yesterday saying he thought Stone's sentencing guidelines were too harsh was "not at all" political interference in the Justice Department.
"The fact is Roger Stone was treated horribly…Roger Stone for doing – nobody even knows what he did," Trump said.

"Nine years recommended by four people that -- perhaps they were Mueller people. I don't know who they were -- prosecutors," Trump said about the four DOJ prosecutors who worked on the Roger Stone case and resigned in protest after Trump's comments Tuesday.
