>Judge Jackson will preside over a phone hearing in the Stone case on Tuesday. Stone has asked for a new trial after it was reported last week the foreman of the jury that convicted him is a virulent anti-Trump Democrat who posted about Stone’s case.

Sorry anon. I missed this important new development. If the allegations are true, sounds like there might be grounds for a mistrial. Stone's attorney should have caught this biased juror during voir dire. Usually jury pool is asked whether they know about the case and whether they've formed any opinions. Can't see how this person got selected, whether Stone's attorney failed to ask basic questions or whether juror lied during voir dire. Tonight's news will be interesting.
