Sandy Berger was sentenced today to 100 hours community service and two years probation. He will also pay $6,905 to cover the administrative costs associated with his probation. (CNN)
In addition Sandy Berger must give up access to classified government materials for a three year period and pay a fine five times more than what prosecutors asked for.
Judge Deborah Robinson set the fine at $50,000 saying:
The court finds the fine is inadequate because it doesn’t reflect the seriousness of the offense.
