They ruled the USA
Lewis Libby, the former director of the US vice president's office, was sentenced on Tuesday to two and a half years in prison.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney's office director Lewis Libby was sentenced to two-and-a-half years in prison on Tuesday for lying to the media about a media scandal involving the Iraq war. He was also fined $ 250,000. The sentence was announced by Judge Reggie Walton, who had requested 30 to 37 months in prison. Libby has already announced his intention to appeal, which will prevent his immediate incarceration in prison.
Libby, 56, pleaded guilty in March to a month and a half in prison for obstructing justice, perjury and breaking an oath. His case came to light in July 2003, when the press revealed that Valerie Play, the wife of a diplomat who accused the Bush administration of exaggerating the Iraqi threat, was a CIA agent. The information was revealed that Libby himself had given to avenge the diplomat. In the US, revealing the identity of a CIA agent is considered a criminal offense and is punishable.
