Donald Trump Commutes Roger Stone’s 3-Year Prison Sentence
On Friday (July 10), the White House revealed that Donald Trump was commuting the prison sentence imposed on his friend and former political consultant, Roger Stone. The 67-year-old advisor is one of the six Trump associates that was sentenced to federal prison after a Special Counsel investigation examined their involvement with alleged Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. While there was insufficient evidence to conclude the Trump campaign conspired with Russia, several of Donald Trump’s advisors had been found guilty of a multitude of crimes that led to their arrest by the FBI. After being convicted of obstructing official proceedings, making false statements to Congress, and witness tampering, Stone was sentenced to a total of 40 months in prison. According to reports by CNN, Roger Stone was set this upcoming Tuesday after his request to postpone his surrender date due to the coronavirus pandemic was rejected. However, that didn’t stop Donald Trump from pardoning his longtime crony right before he set to serve his prison time this past Friday.

The White House released an official statement defending Trump’s decision to commute Roger Stone’s three-year prison sentence that reads,
“Roger Stone is a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years in an attempt to undermine the Trump Presidency.” The statement continues, “There was never any collusion between the Trump Campaign, or the Trump Administration, with Russia … Roger Stone has already suffered greatly. He was treated very unfairly, as were many others in this case. Roger Stone is now a free man!”
On Friday, Trump revealed to the media that he would be looking into his former advisor’s prison sentence, stating,
“I’ll be looking at it. I think Roger Stone was very unfairly treated, as were many people.”
After it was revealed that Roger Stone would be serving zero prison time for his felonious acts, Twitter responded in an uproar. Check out some of the responses below.
Donald Trump once again has proved that his administration is willing to move lawlessly, all the while mishandling a global health pandemic and ignoring the current revolution that is taking place across the nation at this very moment. At least, Roger Stone will be able to sleep comfortably in the sanctity of his own home.

Chris Brown Strikes Back: A $500M Legal Battle Against Warner Bros Over Controversial Docuseries
Chris Brown is making headlines with a massive $500 million lawsuit against Warner Bros. and a production company called Ample Entertainment. He says their new docuseries, “Chris Brown: A History of Violence,” is filled with exaggerations about him. This lawsuit, filed on January 21, places Brown at the center of a hot debate about how the media tells stories about public figures.
The docuseries focuses on his troubled past, featuring controversial moments that have shaped how the public views him. However, Brown’s team claims that it goes beyond just telling facts. They argue that it uses misleading claims that hurt his reputation. His legal team feels that the series paints him negatively, ignoring how he has grown since past incidents.
Throughout his career, he has been a celebrated musician, dancer, and figure surrounded by controversy. As of now, Warner Bros. and Ample Entertainment have not responded to the lawsuit. However, this case raises important questions about what filmmakers should and shouldn’t do when telling stories about real people. For Brown, this lawsuit is not just about seeking money; it’s about taking control of how his life story is shared.
He feels frustrated with an entertainment industry that, focuses more on drama than the truth. Reactions to his lawsuit have been mixed. Some supporters argue that the media often emphasizes Brown’s wrongdoings while ignoring his creative contributions. Critics, however, see the lawsuit as an effort to avoid facing honest criticism. As this situation unfolds, it’s clear that Chris Brown is not just after $500 million; he’s also fighting for how his life story is perceived. Whether he will win this battle remains uncertain, but it is already creating discussions about the influence of the media.
