A federal judge on Tuesday blasted Roger Stone over his new book that criticizes special counsel Robert Mueller, and she demanded Stone explain his efforts to comply with a gag order strictly barring him from bad-mouthing Mueller.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson, in a court filing, wrote that there “is no question that the order prohibited and continues to prohibit the defendant from making any public statements, using any medium, concerning the investigation.”
“It does not matter when the defendant may have first formulated the opinions expressed, or when he first put them into words: he may no longer share his views on these particular subjects with the world,” Jackson wrote about Stone, a longtime Republican operative and friend of President Donald Trump.
