COURTS/ROGER STONE/TRUMP PEOPLE: “A judge has imposed a full gag order on Trump confidant Roger Stone after he posted a photo on Instagram of the judge with what appeared to be crosshairs of a gun. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Thursday she believes Stone would ‘pose a danger’ to others in the case if she didn’t institute the order. Jackson ordered Stone to court to show why she shouldn’t modify or revoke his bail or implement a full gag order. The judge had already issued an order limiting comments in the case. The 66-year-old Stone said the post was an egregious mistake and the symbol was a logo, not crosshairs. Stone has pleaded not guilty to lying to Congress, obstruction and witness tampering related to discussions he had during the 2016 election about WikiLeaks.”
