Mitt Romney Joins Top Democrats Slamming Trump's Decision To Commute Roger Stone's Sentence

Drew Angerer/Getty Images President Donald Trump's decision on Friday to commute the sentence of former Republican strategist Roger Stone sparked outrage across top lawmakers. The negative reaction wasn't entirely partisan, as Sen. Mitt Romney, a Utah Republican, called Trump's actions "unprecedented, historic corruption." House Speaker Nancy Pelosi similarly said the president committed an "act of staggering corruption" and called on the House to pass legislation to prevent such actions in the future. Stone was convicted by a jury in November on seven counts related to false statements to the FBI, to congressional investigators, witness tampering, and obstruction of justice.

Prominent lawmakers on both sides of the aisle Saturday expressed outrage over President Donald Trump's Friday commutation of the sentence of former Republican strategist Roger Stone.
