President Trump's long-time adviser Roger Stone arrived at a federal courthouse in Washington, D.C. to the shouts of ‘traitor’ from onlookers. Stone is set to be sentenced after being convicted on charges including lying to a congressional panel
WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump’s long-time adviser Roger Stone on Thursday faced the judge who will sentence him on charges including lying to a congressional panel investigating Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election in a case that has drawn Trump’s ire.
A jury of nine women and three men convicted Stone, 67, on Nov. 15 on all seven counts of lying to Congress, obstruction of justice and witness tampering. The charges stemmed from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation that detailed Russian meddling in the 2016 election to boost Trump’s candidacy. Stone was one of several Trump associates charged in Mueller’s inquiry.
U.S. Attorney General William Barr then intervened and the Justice Department withdrew the sentencing recommendation, prompting the four prosecutors to resign from the case. Congressional Democrats have accused Trump and Barr of politicizing the U.S. criminal justice system and threatening the rule of law.
