Roger Stone’s recent social media posts challenging the criminal charges he’s fighting put him in violation of a court-imposed gag order and may require him to be jailed
The U.S. attorney from Washington, D.C., who is handling the case originally brought by special counsel Robert Mueller against the longtime Donald Trump adviser, took issue with several of Stone’s posts on Instagram, including several this week that question why he’s not getting more media coverage about his attorneys’ recent legal filings.
Prosecutors asked Jackson to schedule a new court hearing “to show cause why the defendant’s conditions of release should not be modified.” Stone’s potential gag order violation may not sit well with Jackson, who in February restricted his public speech after he posted a photo of her on social media with what looked like gun-sight cross hairs.
But Jackson wasn’t satisfied. “No, Mr. Stone, I’m not giving you another chance,” she said. “I have serious doubts about whether you’ve learned any lesson at all. It is my job to make sure this trial does not devolve into a circus.”
