US Judge Issues Gag Order in Trial of Former Trump Adviser Roger Stone by Reuters A U.S. judge on Friday limited the ability of people involved in the trial of Roger Stone, a former adviser to President Donald Trump, from speaking publicly about the case in a way that may influence the outcome. The order by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman prohibits lawyers involved in the case from speaking with news media, and prohibits other participants, like Stone himself, from making statements that may affect the case when they are near the courthouse.
