A federal judge on Friday partially approved Roger Stone’s motion to postpone the date when he has to report to prison, giving the longtime ally of President Donald Trump an additional two weeks and a total of 75 days beyond his original report date on grounds of the danger to inmates from the COVID-19 pandemic.

An order from U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, published by Courthouse News (pdf), shows that Stone now must report to prison on July 14.
