JUST IN: Roger Stone is moving to force Judge Amy Berman Jackson to recuse herself because she praised the jurors for serving with "integrity."

Stone says she can't rule fairly on his motion for a new trial (based on juror bias) because of this.
On it's face this is going to be a tough sell. Judges routinely praise juries and she didn't single out the specific juror in question for praise.
NEW: Stone makes a last-ditch, longshot bid to disqualify Amy Berman Jackson from his case. It's a motion that's likely to fail but might catch the attention of Trump, who has repeatedly weighed in on the case and the judge.

BREAKING: Judge denies Roger Stone motion to disqualify her, issuing a scathing rejection that concludes it lacks any “factual or legal support” and that it appears to be “a statement for public consumption” that includes the words ‘Judge’ and ‘bias’ in the same sentence.
Aside from her conclusion, Amy Berman Jackson argues that her comment saying the jurors acted “with integrity” had nothing to do with the motion Stone made regarding juror bias, rather it was based on her observation of the jurors.
