A prosecutor on the trial team that won Roger Stone’s conviction is leaving the Justice Department following Trump administration interventions that effectively negated Stone’s prison sentence, according to people familiar with the matter.

Michael Marando, who delivered part of the closing argument in Stone’s trial, will join Facebook Inc., where he will set policy on the site’s content, the people said.
