The federal judge overseeing Roger Stone's case has decided to go ahead with sentencing for Donald Trump's longtime political advisor – despite a personal intervention by the president who complained online the case was 'tainted.'

Although she is willing to listen to their latest request, she said she won't stall Stone's sentencing – which has provoked an extraordinary clash between career prosecutors and the White House that has brought new scrutiny on the attorney general.
'I am going to keep the sentencing where it is,' Jackson said, even as Stone's lawyers sought to delay proceedings.
