But his conviction stands. Robert Mueller<br />CNN reports Trump's decision to commute Stone's sentence is the climax of a months-long effort to rewrite the history of the Mueller investigation.<br />Trump's move spared Stone from having to serve 40 months in prison after Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced him in February.
