Longtime Trump associate Roger Stone was greeted with jeers Thursday as he left court after being sentenced to 40 months in prison.

“Lock him up!” shouted some in the Washington, D.C., crowd, composed of photographers, journalists, and onlookers, imitating a chant often heard at President Trump’s campaign rallies. Stone was sentenced to three years and four months for obstruction of justice and 12 months for the other five counts to be served concurrently. In addition, he got a $20,000 fine.
