A former FBI analyst was sentenced to seven days in jail for illegally accessing his neighbor’s email in what he said was an attempt to prevent harm to special counsel Robert Mueller’s reputation.

Mark Tolson, 60, pleaded guilty in September to a single misdemeanor charge of computer fraud and abuse after he admitted to illegally hacking right-wing lobbyist Jack Burkman’s email account.
