New York Times must surrender Project Veritas memos, judge rules | New York Times | The Guardian
A New York judge has upheld an order preventing the New York Times from publishing documents between conservative group Project Veritas and its lawyer and ruled that the newspaper must immediately relinquish confidential legal memos it obtained.
The decision Thursday by state supreme court justice Charles D Wood in Westchester county, released Friday, comes in a defamation lawsuit Project Veritas filed against the Times in 2020.
Months after the lawsuit was filed, the newspaper reported that the justice department was investigating Project Veritas in connection with the theft of a diary belonging to Ashley Biden, the president s daughter.
Somewhere I read a story years ago about a Brit who was living in Uganda under the notorious President Idi Amin. Things got worse and worse, but the Brit wasn’t worried until a car of secret policemen rolled up and carted off the judge who lived across the street. That day, the Brit caught the plane for London. When something like this, a state judge standing up to the FBI, the White House, the Democrat Party, and the NY Times, and he’s not hauled off to prison, or cancelled, I figure the Republic still has some time left. But it bears watching closely.
