President Donald Trump on Saturday further amplified speculation he's set to pardon Roger Stone before his longtime political adviser reports to federal prison.

Trump retweeted a story on a petition calling on the president to pardon Stone, who was sentenced to 40 months in prison in February for witness-tampering and lying to Congress amid the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

"IT's TIME TO #PardonRogerStone," the original tweet read.
