Trump ally Roger Stone's lawyers seek to move past a judge's gag order concerns
"There was/is no intention to hide anything," the lawyers wrote."Having been scolded, we seek only to defend Mr. Stone and move ahead without further ado."Stone's explanation comes as Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the US District Court in DC, who oversees his case, has grown unhappy with his disregard for her orders. It sets up yet another perilous court appearance for him later this week.
"It would give Roger a chance to set the record straight, clear his name, reach a wider audience and make some money," a publisher wrote to one of Stone's lawyers before his indictment. Stone was widely known to be under investigation before he was charged with obstruction, witness tampering and lying to Congress in Mueller's probe in late January.The publisher relayed that Barnes & Noble wanted Stone's name to be large on the front cover.
