Roger Stone violated gag order with social media posts, prosecutors say - CNNPolitics
Federal prosecutors in a
new court filing Thursday allege that longtime Donald Trump associate
Roger Stone has violated his gag order in his criminal case with recent social media posts.
"In the past several days, Stone posted statements on social media about this case and the special counsel's investigation and appears to have specifically targeted those posts at major media outlets," prosecutors said in a court filing Thursday.
"On or about June 18 and 19, 2019, the defendant posted to Instagram and Facebook, commenting about this case and inviting news organizations to cover the issue," prosecutors wrote. "This is a violation of the current conditions of release."
