Roger Stone Sentenced to 40 Months

Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced Roger Stone, a longtime ally of President Trump, to 40 months in prison for lying to and obstructing Congress and witness tampering in the Russia investigation, the New York Times reports.

Handing down a 40-month sentence, Judge Jackson said Stone’s behavior inspired “dismay and disgust.”

She added: “The truth still exists. The truth still matters. Roger Stone’s insistence that it doesn’t, his pride in his own lies are a threat to the very foundation of this democracy.”
