Longtime Trump associate Roger Stone sentenced to 40 months in prison.
In court, however, prosecutor John Crabb, who'd signed the memo asking for a lighter sentence, advocated for the higher sentencing guidelines in the original recommendation. He also apologized to the judge for any confusion caused by the dueling memos.
Trump has lambasted the original prosecutors for unfairly targeting Stone, and called their conduct"disgusting." In the movie, Frank Pentangeli is called to testify before a congressional committee investigating organized crime and is expected to implicate Michael Corleone. But when Corleone enters the hearing room along with Pentangeli's brother, he claims to know nothing about the mob boss.
The details of the defense motion for a new trial have not been disclosed, but Stone's supporters have said it's based on comments made by the jury forewoman, Tomeka Hart., she said on social media,"It pains me to see the DOJ now interfere with the hard work of the prosecutors."
