Prosecutors Say They May Seek Gag Order for Accused Russian Agent’s Lawyer

Prosecutors warned the lawyer for accused Russian foreign agent Maria Butina that they may seek a gag order if he doesn’t stop talking about the case in the media.

Defense attorney Robert Neil Driscoll has repeatedly violated a local rule against making statements about "the merits of the case or the evidence" by talking to Politico, the Washington Post and the Russian news network RT, prosecutors said in a letter to the judge Thursday.
