FILE PHOTO: Roger Stone, former campaign adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, arrives for the continuation of his criminal trial on charges of lying to Congress, obstructing justice and witness tampering at U.S. District Court
By Sarah N. Lynch and Jan Wolfe WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A U.S. judge said on Thursday President Donald Trump's long-time adviser Roger Stone engaged in intolerable intimidating conduct toward her but his lawyer asked that he get no prison time as he awaited sentencing on charges that include lying to lawmakers investigating Russian interference in the 2016 election.Signaling she may not be lenient in her sentencing, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson told a hearing that Stone "knew exactly what he was doing" when he posted an image on social media last year that positioned a gun's cross-hairs over her head. "The defendant engaged in threatening and intimidating conduct toward the court," Jackson said. "This is intolerable to the administration of justice," she added.
