WASHINGTON—A federal judge in Washington issued a two-month prison sentence to a former Senate staffer on Dec. 20 for lying to FBI agents probing the leak of a top-secret surveillance warrant application on a former associate of the Trump campaign.
Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson rejected a request from the prosecutor to sentence former Senate intelligence committee Security Director James Wolfe to 24 months in prison, a harsher punishment than the zero-to-six-month range set out in the sentencing guidelines.
