Judge in Stone case considers issuing gag order
Source: The Hill
The federal judge overseeing Stone's criminal trial in Washington, D.C., said Friday that she is considering issuing a gag order in the case.
Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee on the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, cautioned President Trump's longtime associate against treating proceedings leading up to his trial like a book tour.
She said this is a "criminal proceeding, not a public relations campaign."
Stone, who appeared in court Friday wearing a black suit with white stripes, has appeared on a number of major news networks since being indicted last week on charges of obstructing a congressional inquiry, witness tampering and making false statements.
