President Donald Trump denied meddling in his former associate Roger Stone's criminal prosecution, saying that tweets he issued about the case don't amount to political interference.
Four federal prosecutors resigned from the Stone case on Tuesday after the Justice Department reversed a recommendation for a seven-to-nine-year prison sentence for Stone. He was convicted of lying to Congress and other charges stemming from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election.
Trump remarked to reporters in a meeting with Ecuadorian President Lenin Moreno that the prosecutors "all hit the road pretty quickly" after the Justice Department signaled it would cut their recommended sentence.
