Judge Amy Berman Jackson said she didn't wish to waste much time talking about the re-release of a book Stone published in 2017, which could have been considered a violation of his partial gag order.
The court upheld a civil contempt order against former Roger Stone associate Andrew Miller, who refused to comply with a grand jury subpoena and challenged Mueller's appointment.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Stone would need to show cause at a hearing on Thursday as to why the posts did not violate a gag order in the case or the conditions of his release.
"the government obtained and executed dozens of search warrants on various accounts used to facilitate the transfer of stolen documents for release, as well as to discuss the timing and promotion of their release"
Stone’s criminal case is off to a chaotic start, after his Fort Lauderdale, Florida-based lawyers failed to make the 9 a.m. deadline to file paperwork to appear in federal court in Washington
In an indictment unsealed Friday, the special counsel disclosed evidence that a top campaign official in 2016 dispatched Roger J. Stone [...] to get information from WikiLeaks about the thousands of hacked Democratic emails.
“Absent an appropriation, Department of Justice attorneys are generally prohibited from working, even on a voluntary basis, except in very limited circumstances”
The agreement requires Mr. Stone to run ads in national newspapers [...] apologizing for making defamatory statements [...] It also requires Mr. Stone to publish a retraction of the false statements on social media.
Although Mr. Corsi apparently had no direct connection to the Trump campaign, he was in touch with Mr. Stone, a former campaign adviser who communicated with senior campaign officials through the election.
In an email to Stephen K. Bannon on Oct. 4 — days before WikiLeaks began releasing emails hacked from the account of Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta — Stone said that WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange feared for his personal safety but would nevertheless be releasing “a load every week going forward.”
That aide, Andrew Miller, lost a lawsuit earlier this month in U.S. District Court challenging Mueller's subpoena requiring him to appear before a grand jury.
Lawyers for Andrew Miller, a former Roger Stone aide who is fighting a grand jury subpoena in special counsel Robert Mueller’s probe, as well as at least five attorneys from Mueller’s team spent nearly an hour and a half Wednesday in the D.C. courtroom of Chief U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell.
The Russians used Guccifer 2.0’s Twitter account to send multiple messages to “a person who was in regular contact with senior members” of Trump’s campaign
Stone and Caputo’s interactions with Greenberg mean that at least 11 Trump associates or campaign officials have acknowledged interactions with a Russian during the election season or presidential transition.
“I do not engage in any illegal activities on behalf of my clients or the causes in which I support,” Mr. Stone said in prepared remarks to the House Intelligence Committee... “There is one ‘trick’ that is not in my bag, and that is treason.”
