"WASHINGTON – A judge on Friday imposed a limited gag order on Roger Stone, barring him from making any statements "that pose a substantial likelihood of material prejudice to this case" while he's around the federal courthouse in Washington, DC.

US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson issued a broader restriction on the lawyers in the case, ordering them not to make any public statements — anywhere — that could prejudice the case.

Jackson wrote that while she wouldn't stop Stone from speaking publicly about the case away from the courthouse for now, he was still barred from communicating with any witnesses in his case. She also warned that if he tried to complain about pretrial publicity in the future, she'd consider how much he was to blame.

"Finally, while it is not up to the Court to advise the defendant as to whether a succession of public statements would be in his best interest at this time, it notes that one factor that will be considered in the evaluation of any future request for relief based on pretrial publicity will be the extent to which the publicity was engendered by the defendant himself," Jackson wrote."
