Judge bars Roger Stone from social media, says ex-Trump adviser violated gag order


A federal judge on Tuesday barred former Trump adviser Roger Stone – facing charges of tampering, obstruction and false statements in a case brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller – from posting anything on social media after determining Stone violated her gag order not to discuss the case. She did not order Stone to jail. JUDGE ORDERS ROGER STONE TO COURT OVER INFLAMMATORY INSTAGRAM POSTProsecutors argued Stone had violated the judge's gag order with Instagram posts that disparaged the Mueller investigation and the broader election interference probe. Defense lawyers have said nothing Stone posted on social media ran afoul of the judge's order or would prevent an unbiased jury from hearing the case. Jackson imposed the order in February after Stone posted a photo of the judge with what appeared to be the crosshairs of a gun.
