Mount Juliet, Tennessee — Political provocateur Roger Stone on Sunday said that God gave President Trump “the guidance” in July to commute his prison sentence.

Stone, speaking at a church for the first time since his conversion to evangelicalism in January, confessed his faith publicly and told a tightly packed crowd of about 500 people that the 2020 election is a battle between “dark and light.” Stone also said that he believes that Trump “came at the time of God’s calling” to save the country.
