President Donald Trump said on Friday he was considering a pardon for Roger Stone, who is set to report to prison next week, saying that his longtime associate and former adviser had been treated “unfairly.”

“I’ll be looking at it,” Trump told reporters before departing the White House when asked whether he would pardon Stone. “I think Roger Stone was very unfairly treated, as were many people.”
