Eight days after Judge Amy Berman Jackson threatened to jail former Trump adviser Roger Stone over an image posted on Stone’s Instagram account that appeared to encourage violence against Judge Jackson, the Trump consigliere is in trouble again for failing to disclose the “imminent general rel[e]ase” of a book.
Stone faces criminal charges after he allegedly communicated directly with Russian operatives and the site WikiLeaks regarding hacked emails stolen from Democratic operatives during the 2016 presidential election. According to Stone’s indictment, a senior Trump campaign official “was directed” to speak with Stone regarding WikiLeaks’ publication of former Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s stolen emails.
