Roger Stone, former adviser to Donald Trump's presidential campaign, arrives to federal court in Washington, D.C., Feb. 21, 2019.

The federal judge in the Roger Stone case said Tuesday she willl sentence the Republican operative for multiple crimes as scheduled Thursday — but will delay imposing the terms of punishment on the longtime friend of President Donald Trump pending resolution of his request for a new trial.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson said during a conference call with Stone's lawyers and prosecutors that she thought "delaying the sentence would not be a prudent thing."

Stone's lawyers last week filed a motion seeking a new trial on the heels of disclosures that the jury forewoman in Stone's trial had a history of anti-Trump social media posts.

A court filing Tuesday indicates that Stone's lawyers in that sealed motion are "alleging juror misconduct."

Those defense lawyers told Jackson during the conference call that she should rule on their motion for a new trial before Stone is sentence. Prosecutors objected to the delay and also are opposing Stone's request for a new trial.

Jackson noted during the call, "We've already put the sentencing off once."

Jackson said it made sense to proceed with the sentencing "since there is no harm that would flow to the defendant."

"I'm willing to make sure that there are no consequences that flow from the announcement of what the sentence would be at the sentencing hearing," Jackson said.

Trump on Tuesday retweeted comments by a Fox News legal commentator who said Stone should get a new trial in light of the forewoman's posts.
