Roger Stone demands a NEW trial after jury foreperson was revealed to be anti-Trump Democrat who posted about dirty trickster's arrest

Roger Stone demanded a retrial late Friday in a dramatic new twist in his prosecution - after the jury foreperson was revealed to be an anti-Donald Trump Democratic Congressional candidate who posted about Stone's arrest before his case.

Stone filed a sealed motion which the Department of Justice must respond to on Tuesday, two days before he was supposed to be sentenced.

The Washington Post reported that the motion was a request for a retrial, which is his second attempt at overcoming the outcome of his trial.

Stone was convicted on seven counts including witness tampering and lying to Congress and has already lost an attempt to force a retrial by claiming another juror was biased against him.
