Read our privacy policy President Donald Trump hinted at a future pardon for Roger Stone, the conservative political operative known for pushing conspiracy theories, witness tampering and dressing like a steampunk villain. Mr Kirk - whose organisation has included individuals who've made white supremacist and anti-semitic comments - complained on Twitter that Stone would "serve more time in prison than 99% of these rioters destroying America." Attorney General William Barr became the subject of a letter signed by around 2,000 former Justice Department officials calling on him to resign over his treatment of the Stone and Michael Flynn cases. Mr Trump's list of pardons includes - but is not limited to - Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio, who was convicted of being in contempt of court for refusing to curb the department's racial profiling practices; Scooter Libby, who went to jail after revealing the identity of CIA agent Valerie Plame; Dinesh D'Souza, a disgraced political commentator who went to prison for making illegal campaign contributions and Dwight and Steven Hammond, who were imprisoned for arson on federal land that eventually led to the occupation of a federal nature refuge by the Bundy family.
