President Trump’s friend and ally Roger Stone was “treated differently” because of his “relationship to the president” by senior law enforcement officials who sought a lighter prison sentence for the embattled Trump associate, prosecutor Aaron Zelinsky testified in front Congress on Tuesday, an allegation that comes as Attorney General Bill Barr faces scrutiny he has used the power of his office for political purposes.

KEY FACTS

“What I heard — repeatedly — was that Roger Stone was being treated differently from any other defendant because of his relationship to the president,” Zelinsky said reading from a written opening statement submitted on Tuesday to the House Judiciary Committee.

“In the many cases I have been privileged to work on in my career, I have never seen political influence play any role in prosecutorial decision making. With one exception: United States v. Roger Stone,” Zelinsky went on to say.
