Stone attacks Mueller as “crooked” and accuses “Deep State liberals” of seeking to silence him in the book’s new introduction, despite a Feb. 21 gag order. Stone’s attorneys argued that “not a single word of the book was created” after that date. The judge previously warned that Stone could be jailed for further violations of the gag order. In the five-page order Tuesday, Jackson said Stone and his attorneys gave her repeated reason to question their truthfulness. They asked Friday for permission to “clarify” that the gag order did not apply to a book set for imminent release.
