The video covers three main news stories: Roger Stone's sentencing, MGM Resorts' data breach, and the Turkey-Syria conflict. Roger Stone, an associate of President Trump, was convicted of obstructing a congressional investigation, lying to Congress, and witness tampering. Federal prosecutors recommended a 7 to 9 year sentence, but Attorney General William Barr suggested a lighter sentence after President Trump's criticism.
