Judge bars Roger Stone from Instagram, Facebook and Twitter after finding him in violation of a court-issued gag order on Tuesday
A federal judge has banned Roger Stone, the longtime confidant to President Donald Trump, from using social media after finding him in violation of a court-issued gag order on Tuesday.
Mueller indicted Stone in January on five counts of lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstruction of justice. Stone has pleaded not guilty to all seven counts, and his trial is expected to begin in November. The charges brought by Mueller's office largely revolve around false statements Stone is accused of making to the House Intelligence Committee regarding his communications with associates about Wikileaks during the 2016 presidential campaign.
On Tuesday, federal prosecutor Jonathan Kravis argued that Stone's social media posts"clearly violate" the court's gag order.
