The judge who will ultimately sentence Roger Stone is no stranger to Trump's extended universe of convicted allies. Amy Berman Jackson has overseen some of the biggest cases arising out of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election, including the trial and conviction of Paul Manafort. While some of her past rulings have infuriated Trump, she ruled in his favor on Feb. 10, tossing out a lawsuit in which watchdogs asked her to order the White House to retain records of his meetings and calls with foreign leaders. Trump on Thursday said he is considering blocking administration officials from listening to those calls, after a whistle-blower complaint about his conversation with Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskiy led to his impeachment. —Josh Petri

Museum Built on Selfies Wants to Ban Phones

When the Museum of Ice Cream first opened is doors in Manhattan's Meatpacking District in 2016, it wasn't really a museum. Those who paid for an $18 ticket could dip their toes in a swimming pool filled with plastic sprinkles and walk through a room that smelled like chocolate. Most importantly, perhaps, they could take perfectly-staged photographs in front of its candy-colored walls. The format has been a hit, with permanent outposts in Manhattan and San Francisco selling tickets at nearly $40 a pop, a line of ice cream in Target and a licensing deal with Sephora that includes a popsicle-shaped eye-shadow palette. But critics have consistently pointed to the MOIC as an example of our social-media obsessed culture. Now co-founder Maryellis Bunn is developing a new format in an attempt to prove her venues are more than selfie havens. The most important part of the new experience? No phones.

Can Museum of Ice Cream become more than Instagram famous?
