Roger Stone Sentenced To 40 Months Behind Bars

Roger Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison and fined $20,000 for obstructing a congressional inquiry. Despite his defense team's plea to consider his full character, the judge criticized Stone's attention-seeking behavior. Prosecutors initially recommended a nine-year sentence, which was reduced after President Trump called it a miscarriage of justice. This led to the withdrawal of prosecutors and calls for Attorney General Barr's resignation. Stone's team claims trial misconduct and seeks a new trial, while urging a presidential pardon.
