A federal judge condemned President Trump and conservative media figures for attacking one of the jurors in the case of Roger Stone, a longtime Trump confidant who was convicted of lying to Congress.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama-era appointee who is presiding over the proceedings in Washington, D.C., said, on Tuesday, their commentary about Tomeka Hart, the foreperson in the Stone trial, could lead to intimidation and harassment.
“Any attempt to harass or intimidate jurors is completely antithetical to our system of justice," Jackson said after reading one of Trump's tweets at a hearing as she considers Stone's request for a retrial and removed the public from the courtroom.
