Former Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone was sentenced to three years and four months prison time on Wednesday for crimes including lying to Congress and witness tampering.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson denounced Stone's actions during sentencing, saying "The truth still exists. The truth still matters. Roger Stones' insistence that it doesn't is a threat to our most fundamental institutions."
Stone may never actually serve time in prison if his motion to seek a new trial is granted over the previous trial's alleged juror misconduct.

Portraying himself as the 'dirty trickster of American politics,' Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison for obstruction, lying to Congress and witness tampering, charges stemming from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
