Roger Stone , Donald Trump s longtime political adviser, reportedly posted and then deleted an inflammatory online call that former CIA Director John Brennan be hung for treason.

Stone, 66, is under a gag order as he awaits federal trial on charges related to his work on Trumps 2016 campaign. He was sternly reprimanded by U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in February for a social media post that featured the judges face with crosshairs .

Stone faces trial in November on charges that include lying to Congress, obstructing justice and witness tampering for activities linked to the Trump campaign.

The Brennan Instagram story was first reported on Twitter Sunday morning by CNN s Brian Stelter. CNN security analyst Sam Vinograd soon wondered in a tweet why the Brennan photo with comment hadnt been taken down 55 minutes after it was posted.

Several screen shots of the reported post on Twitter and reported by Newsweek feature a photo of Brennan with the message: This psycho must be charged, tried, convicted and hung for treason.

Vinograd tweeted an update with a message from Instagram saying the post had been removed because it violated our Community Guidelines. The message added: We have let rogerjstonejr know their photo has been removed, but not who reported it.

Stone posted a similar message on his Instagram account at rogerjstonejr last week, but he didnt say Brennan should be hanged. The earlier post, seen below, reads: Wanted for TREASON CIA Director John Brennan. Stones difficult to decipher comments accompanying the image called Brennan a criminal psychopath.

That post remained up as of Sunday night.
