NEW: In new memo, US prosecutors now say a 87-108 month sentence for Roger Stone “could be considered excessive and unwarranted,” declining to recommend a specific sentence and instead yielding to judge to consider an “appropriate” sentence under facts and circumstances of case.
Decision to reverse course on the Roger Stone sentencing recommendation was made Monday night prior to President Trump’s early Tuesday tweet in which he called the original recommendation a "miscarriage of justice," DOJ spokesperson says.
BREAKING: Michael Marando, a 4th federal prosecutor on Roger Stone case, has asked judge to withdraw from the case.
