Longtime GOP operative and Trump confidant, charged in Mueller probe, hid book details.
By Spencer S. Hsu Spencer S. Hsu Investigative reporter Email Bio Follow March 14 at 1:01 PM A federal judge set a Nov. 5 trial date for Roger Stone on charges of lying to Congress and obstructing justice in a Thursday hearing where she also postponed any decision of whether a new book by the longtime GOP operative and Trump confidant violated a gag order in his case.
Jackson in February ordered Stone to stop talking publicly about his case — and the parties involved in it — to try to tamp down pretrial publicity that could affect seating an impartial jury. On Monday, Stone’s attorneys, led by Bruce S. Rogow of Fort Lauderdale, Fla., denied using the filing to spike interest in the book, which had been available online since Feb. 19, before the gag order, they noted.
“Having been scolded,” about representations about the book, “we seek only to defend Mr. Stone and move ahead without further ado,” his attorney wrote.Stone’s new book introduction attacks Mueller as “crooked” and accuses “Deep State liberals” of seeking to silence him.
