A federal judge is keeping former Trump campaign associate Roger Stone on track to be sentenced on Feb. 20. She said, however, she won’t send him to prison before considering his request for a new trial.
Stone was convicted of lying to and obstructing Congress and witness tampering. A new team of prosecutors have requested “substantial” prison time for Stone, but said it should be “far less” than the seven to nine years requested by the previous team, which withdrew from the case after the Justice Department nixed their sentencing recommendation as “excessive.”
