Roger Stone appealed his conviction and sentencing months after a jury found him guilty of lying to the House Intelligence Committee during its Russia investigation.

Stone, a self-described “dirty trickster” and a longtime confidant of President Trump, made the move weeks after the presiding judge in his November trial refused his request for a new trial amid allegations of anti-Trump juror bias and days after the Justice Department unsealed its 33 search warrants against Stone, showing his 2017 communications with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange.
