Politico: “Longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone has unexpectedly dropped the appeal of his seven federal felony convictions for seeking to thwart a House investigation into ties between the Trump campaign and Russia. Stone’s lawyers submitted a notice to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals withdrawing the appeal Monday night, about a month after Trump spared Stone a 40-month prison term and a $20,000 fine by commuting his sentence.”
