Jim Jordan asks former US attorney to counter Mueller prosecutor's 'double-hearsay statements'

The top Republican on the House Judiciary Committee is seeking a “firsthand recollection” from the former acting U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia about the sentencing of longtime Trump associate Roger Stone.

Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio sent a four-page letter, obtained by the Washington Examiner, to Timothy Shea, who is now the acting administrator of the Drug Enforcement Administration. The letter was sent following claims from Democrats and Aaron Zelinsky, a prosecutor in special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation who is an assistant U.S. attorney in Maryland, that the decision-making process, in walking back the sentencing recommendation, was motivated by politics.
