Judge considering gag order in case of Trump adviser Stone

The judge in the case of President Donald Trump's former political adviser Roger Stone said on Friday she was considering imposing a gag order to prevent the sides from discussing the criminal case in the media.

Federal Judge Amy Berman Jackson said if she did impose a gag order, Stone would still be able to talk to the media about issues unrelated to special counsel Robert Muller's criminal case against him. She gave both sides until Feb. 8 to file briefs on whether they would oppose such an order.
