Attorneys for Roger Stone withheld or misrepresented plans for his new book criticizing special counsel Robert Mueller in violation of a gag order in his case, a federal judge found.
Roger Stone, a former campaign advisor for President Trump, leaves federal court in Washington last month.
The new order by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson of Washington does not spell out consequences but appears to bode ill for the longtime friend of President Trump and Republican operative, who asked the court for leeway late Friday regarding the “imminent release” of a new version of his book about Trump’s 2016 campaign, retitled “The Myth of Russian Collusion.
“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 said.
