Roger Stone, a longtime confidant for President Donald Trump, leaves a federal courthouse after he was found in violation of a court-issued gag order, July 16, 2019, in Washington.
WASHINGTON - A federal judge has banned Roger Stone, the longtime confidant to President Donald Trump, from using social media after finding him in violation of a court-issued gag order Tuesday.
In doing so, U.S. Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered Stone not to "post or communicate on Instagram Twitter or Facebook in any way or any subject."
Jackson had imposed a full gag order in February after he posted a photo of Jackson with what appeared to be crosshairs near her head.
The indictment alleges Stone was the middle man between Trump's presidential campaign and WikiLeaks, which had damaging information on Trump's opponent, Hillary Clinton.
