Roger Stone pushed back against Michael Cohens claims that Stone told Trump in July 2016 that he had spoken to WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange about an email dump that would hurt Hillary Clintons campaign, saying in a text message to BuzzFeed News: Mr. Cohens statement is not true.'
Stones text, which he made clear was a statement, was just the one sentence, and he did not explain what exactly about Cohens testimony he maintained was false. Stone, who is facing criminal charges for lying to Congress, is under a gag order not to publicly comment on his case, special counsel Robert Muellers investigation, or any participants in his case or the investigation.

(10,820 posts)I thought Roger wasn't supposed to be talking about his case except to say he was innocent and to ask for money!
I do not think that includes calling other witnesses liars.

(115,836 posts)He was told not to talk about his case in any fashion. His statement claiming Cohen lied when he said he (Stone) talked to Assange about the email dump sure sounds like he was talking about his case. He can't weasel out by claiming it was just a "statement."
I expect the prosecutors will see it and take appropriate action.

Isn't this a violation of his gag order?
