A federal judge on Tuesday blasted Roger Stone over his new book that criticizes special counsel Robert Mueller, and demanded Stone explain his efforts to comply with a gag order that bars him from bad-mouthing Mueller.
div > div.group > p:first-child"> Judge Amy Berman Jackson, in a court filing said, 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.
Jackson on Feb. 21 had barred Stone from making any comments that criticize Mueller or the case against him, where he is accused of lying to Congress and witness tampering. Neither Stone's lawyers nor a special counsel spokesman immediately responded to CNBC's request for comment.
