Roger Stone Sentenced to 40 Months in Prison

Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Roger Stone to 40 months in federal prison, 24 months probation, and a $20,000 fine. In her remarks, Judge Jackson called Stone's crimes "intentional and calculated," noting his attempts to cover up for Trump and his "lengthy and elaborate pattern of witness intimidation." The sentencing followed a controversial episode where Attorney General Barr overruled prosecutors' recommendation for 7-9 years, prompting all four career prosecutors to withdraw from the case.
