LATEST: DOJ will reverse course on its sentencing recommendation for Trump confidant Roger Stone, only hours after Pres. Trump called the recommendation a 'miscarriage of justice.'

"The department was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation,” the official, who requested anonymity to speak about the department's internal deliberations, said. “This was not what had been briefed to the department and the department thinks the recommendation was extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate to Stone’s offenses and the department will clarify its position later today at the court.
