The trial before Judge Amy Berman Jackson is expected to last about two weeks. She has warned that any visible or audible response from those attending the trial will lead to expulsion from the courtroom, and after one break, Stone warned his supporters to tone down the reactions no smiling, no giggling, no rolling your eyes, he said.
A trove of Stones communications with Trump insiders, including exchanges with Bannon, Manafort and Manafort deputy Rick Gates, will figure prominently in the case.
Zelinsky said the cases most important evidence will not be the witnesses, but Stones own words.
Amazingly, most of the evidence in this case is in the written record its emails and text messages showing what really happened. If those records had come out, the truth would have been exposed, the prosecutor said.
The trial will detail the eagerness of some in Trumps orbit to find damaging information to derail Clintons presidential run, and how Stone then denied such efforts when asked about them.
At a critical moment in this nations history, as Congress sought to find out the truth of what happened, Zelinsky said, Stone was doing his best to stop them.

Semi-related: Has anything happened to Alex Jones for doxing one of the jurors in Stone's trial?
