Judge Who Sentenced Roger Stone Is Feeling Heat from Trump

Masood Farivar

   WASHINGTON - U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson was under
   siege and growing impatient.

   Heading into last week's highly anticipated sentencing of Roger Stone,
   President Donald Trump's longtime confidant, Jackson faced a torrent of
   withering criticism from Trump and his conservative allies over her
   handling of a case they belittled as politically motivated.

   Jackson, 65, a Harvard Law School graduate, had endured many epithets.
   "Obama judge." "Corrupt." "Anti-Trump."
