President Donald Trump’s former adviser, Roger Stone, will appear in federal court on Tuesday and the judge is likely to decide whether to revoke his bond after prosecutors alleged Stone violated a gag order by discussing his case on social media. Tuesday’s hearing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia was originally scheduled as a routine event ahead of Stone’s November criminal trial for his lawyers to present arguments for why certain evidence should be suppressed or turned over by the government. “Stone’s posts appear calculated to generate media coverage of information that is not relevant to this case but that could prejudice potential jurors,” they wrote, in reference to posts Stone made citing articles that questioned whether Russia actually hacked Democratic Party computer servers in the 2016 presidential election.
