Chief Judge of D.C. District Court Rebukes President Trump in ‘Rare Statement’

Well, now they’ve really gone and done it.

U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell issued a statement largely interpreted as a rebuke of President Donald Trump and Attorney General Bill Barr’s attempts to interfere with the sentencing of Trump’s longtime friend and political confidante Roger Stone.

“The Judges of this Court base their sentencing decisions on careful consideration of the actual record in the case before them; the applicable sentencing guidelines and statutory factors; the submissions of the parties, the Probation Office and victims; and their own judgment and experience,” Judge Howell said in a decidedly rare and sure to be controversial statement.
