Roger Stone tells me he saw @realDonaldTrump last night and thanked @POTUS in person for pardoning him 12/23 - "Yes, I did see the President last night in passing at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach," Stone said. The White House declined to comment. @ABC 1/7

In an intv w/ @ABC today Stone said "My wife and I both had the opportunity to thank the President personally for righting the injustice of my conviction in a soviet-style show trial, which featured the epic bias of the judge who withheld exculpatory evidence from my defense.."2/7

"....misconduct by the jury forewoman and substantial misconduct by prosecutors."

"Donald Trump is the greatest president since Abraham Lincoln," Stone told me. @ABC 3/7

Stone told @ABC News he and his wife, Nydia Stone, were the guests of Newsmax publisher Christopher Ruddy for the club's buffet dinner, where they ran into Trump. 4/7

"The president decided to dine at the club with his son Donald Trump Jr., Kimberly Guilfoyle, Eric Trump and his wife Lara Trump. Because of his decision to sign the stimulus bill, it was unclear whether the president would dine at the club..." 5/7

"...which he normally does on Sunday nights when he is visiting Mar-A-Lago," Stone explained.

Because the club rules prohibit photographs of diners for privacy reasons, the Stones declined to provide photos. 6/7

ABC News reached a source who was present in a dining room of about 100 diners who provided a photo of Trump of greeting Stone with a friendly pat on the shoulder. 7/7
