After a failed appeal, President Bush commuted Libby's sentence of 30 months in federal prison, leaving the other parts of his sentence intact.[5] As a result of his conviction in United States v. Libby, Libby's license to practice law was suspended until being reinstated in 2016.[3] President President Donald Trump pardoned Libby on April 13, 2018.[6]
