Five people described the briefing to our reporters, who also learned that Mr. Trump had been angered by the briefing, saying that Democrats would use it against him. The Intelligence Committee ran the impeachment investigation, and its chairman, the Democrat Adam Schiff, led the impeachment proceedings. Our reporters were told that Mr. Trump then berated Joseph Maguire, the acting director of national intelligence, for allowing the briefing. This week, the president announced that he was replacing Mr. Maguire with Richard Grenell, the ambassador to Germany and a vocal Trump supporter. That’s Mr. Grenell above, in Munich last week. Two administration officials said the timing of the replacement was coincidental. We’re still reporting it out. In other news out of Washington, the president’s friend Roger Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison for lying to protect Mr. Trump. Hours later, Mr. Trump [hinted that he would use his clemency powers to spare Mr. Stone](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRgMZ1BP0TyaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMC8wMi8yMC91cy9wb2xpdGljcy90cnVtcC1hdHRhY2tzLWp1c3RpY2Utc3lzdGVtLmh0bWw_dGU9MSZubD1ldmVuaW5nLWJyaWVmaW5nJmVtYz1lZGl0X25lXzIwMjAwMjIwJmNhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU3Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTE2MTUxJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9MjE0NjgmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkNyZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyMjAyMDAyMjBXA255dEIKACxBGE9ez2dNzFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) if a judge did not agree to a retrial.
