A sentencing hearing for longtime Trump ally Roger Stone is underway. He was convicted last year on seven charges of obstruction, lying to Congress and witness tampering.
The possible sentence: Prosecutors initially asked for seven to nine years in prison — but Attorney General William Barr retracted that recommendation hours after Trump criticized it on Twitter for being too harsh.
The aftermath: Four prosecutors withdrew from the case in response to Barr's controversial and politically charged decision. More than 2,000 former Justice Department officials have called on Barr to resign.
