Judge holds Trump adviser Stone's ex-aide in contempt

WASHINGTON: An associate of longtime Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone refused to appear before a grand jury on Friday following a subpoena from US Special Counsel Robert Mueller and was found in contempt, the Washington Post reported. The refusal by the witness, Andrew Miller, prompted a sealed hearing before a federal judge, who then made the ruling, the Post said. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. Mueller issued a subpoena to Miller earlier this year, making him the third associate of Stone to be identified as having been contacted by Mueller's investigators. (Reuters)
