A judge has scheduled a pair of hearings for Tuesday in longtime Trump adviser Roger Stone's criminal case, as she considers how to resolve a motion Stone's defense filed seeking a new trial based on alleged misconduct by one of the jurors in his case.for impeding official investigations into Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential race, said in a brief order Monday that she plans to take up the juror-focused motion behind closed doors in her Washington courtroom at 2 p.m. on Tuesday.
The defense motion is believed to refer to a woman who has identified herself as the foreperson of the jury at Stone's weeklong trial last November, Tomeka Hart. Hart is an attorney who formerly served on the Memphis school board and mounted an unsuccessful bid for the Democratic nomination in Tennessee's 7th District in 2012.
“But I can’t keep quiet any longer. I want to stand up for Aaron Zelinsky, Adam Jed, Michael Marando, and Jonathan Kravis – the prosecutors on the Roger Stone trial,” Hart added. “It pains me to see the DOJ now interfere with the hard work of the prosecutors. They acted with the utmost intelligence, integrity, and respect for our system of justice."
After Hart stepped forward to defend the prosecutors, conservative writers and activists noted that while she said in court that she didn't recall anything specific about Stone beyond a vague connection to Donald Trump's campaign and "the Russia probe," she had actually retweeted a message about Stone shortly after his arrest at gunpoint at his Florida home last January.
