“The federal judge overseeing the criminal case against Roger Stone warned on Tuesday about attacks by President Trump and others on a juror in the trial, saying that fomenting public anger about the guilty verdict could prompt someone to ‘soon take it out on them personally,'” the New York Times reports.
“The comments by United States District Judge Amy Jackson Berman came during a hearing on an argument by Mr. Stone’s lawyers that misconduct by a juror required a new trial.
“Even as the hearing was proceeding, Mr. Trump weighed in again on the case, once more ignoring Attorney General William Barr’s explicit request earlier this month that he stop commenting on the department’s criminal cases.”
