WHAT WE’RE WATCHING
STAY FOCUSED – With Roger Stone’s trial set to get underway today, Judge Amy Berman Jackson has a clear message: Stick to the subject. Jacqueline Thomsen reports that the D.C. federal judge Monday told attorneys for both the DOJ and Stone that “we’re going to follow the rules.” Jackson previously struck down efforts from Stone’s legal team to include evidence relating to Russian hacking during the 2016 election. Stone is charged with making false statements to Congress and witness tampering during the congressional investigation into interference in the 2016 election. Jury selection is expected to begin today.
