^ Stone appeared in DC court this morning for a hearing before case Judge Amy Berman Jackson.
Judge Jackson said she didn't wish to waste time talking about the re-release of a book Stone published in 2017, a move that could have been considered a violation of his partial gag-order. The judge simply said she was taking it "under advisement" and moved forward with setting a trial date.
Roger Stone's trial is scheduled to begin on November 5, 2019. Judge Jackson said she expects it to last two weeks. Stone is due back in court for a pre-trial hearing on April 30th.
