Two Roger Stone websites deleted as Mueller alerts judge of possible gag order breach

Two websites aimed at raising funds for Roger Stone‘s legal defense have been deleted amid reports that President Trump’s longtime associate may have violated the terms of a judicial gag order, according to CNBC.

The site stonezone.com was operating as of Sunday, and whoframedrogerstone.com was operating as of Feb. 6, according to CNBC, which cited data from the internet archival service the Wayback Machine.

{mosads}It is unclear exactly when the sites were taken down; stonezone.com now displays a message that reads, “This page isn’t working.” Other Stone-related websites, such as stonecoldtruth.com and stonedefensefund.com, remain up and running.

Stone did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill. Stone’s lawyers declined to comment to CNBC.

Special counsel Robert Mueller on Monday notified the federal judge presiding over Stone’s criminal case that the defendant may have violated a gag order by suggesting publicly that he was framed.

Stone published an Instagram post asking “who framed Roger Stone” after he was ordered by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson not to talk publicly about his case or Mueller’s investigation.

Stone deleted the image after CNBC asked his lawyer about it, according to the cable news network.

The gag order was first issued after Stone posted an Instagram photo featuring what appeared to be crosshairs behind the judge’s head.

The longtime ally of Trump‘s was arrested in January, when the FBI raided his home in Florida. He was released on $250,000 bond and has pleaded not guilty to charges of obstruction of justice and lying to Congress.
