Cagey political operative and Donald Trump pal Roger Stone is in trouble again with a federal judge — this time over the pending release of a book during a gag order she imposed before his upcoming trial. The Instagram post also sought money for Stone’s legal defense and referred to Mueller as “Deep State Hitman Mueller.” The pending publication of the book was not mentioned when Jackson imposed the gag order then. The judge warned at the time that she had “serious doubts whether [Stone] learned any lesson at all” after his Instagram post — and said she would consider sending Stone to jail for future violations. Stone said on Instagram earlier this month that the book would be published March 1. Cohen testified that he heard Stone talk to Trump on a speaker phone about the hacked Democratic Party emails published by WikiLeaks.
