This Abridge News topic aggregates four unique arguments on different sides of the debate. Here are the quick facts to get you started:
THE QUICK FACTS
- This week, federal prosecutors issued a sentencing recommendation for Trump ally Roger Stone, asking the judge to give Stone between 7 and 9 years in prison.
- Stone was convicted last November of seven crimes, including obstruction of justice, lying to Congress, and witness tampering. He is scheduled to be sentenced next week.
- President Trump raised objections to the sentencing recommendation via Twitter, calling it āvery horrible and unfairā and a āmiscarriage of justice.ā
- Later that day, the Justice Department took the rare step of overruling the prosecutors and saying it will lower the amount of prison time recommended.
- In response, all four prosecutors resigned from the case in protest.
