Roger Stone will go to trial in early November in Washington on charges that he lied about his efforts to secretly contact WikiLeaks in 2016, a federal judge decided Thursday
The longtime Donald Trump adviser's trial is now scheduled to start November 5 and is likely to last about two weeks, said Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the US District Court in DC.Stone has pleaded not guilty to seven charges of obstruction, lying to Congress and witness tampering. He was released on bail following his arrest seven weeks ago.The trial is set nine months from now partly because of the amount of evidence Stone's team must piece through and may argue about before the trial.
"Any violation of this order will be a basis for revoking your bond and detaining you pending trial," Jackson told Stone when she set the stricter gag order."So I want to be clear: Today I gave you a second chance. But this is not baseball. There will not be a third chance."Stone's team then waited a week to inform the court of the paperback release of his book about President Donald Trump's election.
