Justice Department lawyers late Thursday told a federal judge they aren’t opposing Roger Stone’s request to delay his report date to federal prison due to a department-wide policy on the COVID-19 pandemic and not for any other reasons, one day after a former prosecutor on the case alleged DOJ leadership sought special treatment for the longtime Trump associate.

Stone earlier this week filed the motion to delay his report date to a federal correctional facility from June 30 until Sept. 3, and his attorneys wrote in the filing that government lawyers did not oppose the request.
