The New York Times must return memos it obtained that were written by an attorney for the conservative activist group Project Veritas, a judge in New York ruled Friday.by New York state court judge Charles Wood affirms his temporary order last month in favor of the conservative activist group.
The ruling also orders The New York Times to give back the documents obtained by its journalists over the course of reporting on Project Veritas' methods, a development The Times' publisher, A.G. Sulzberger, said has"no apparent precedent," and argued that it"could present obvious risks to exposing sources," according to his statement Friday.
While the parties await a decision on how their dispute over those stories should proceed, Wood's latest ruling addresses more recent reporting by the New York Times on Project Veritas' methods of obtaining information. The Times' report last month followed anin New York, apparently as part of an investigation into a diary missing from Ashley Biden, the daughter of President Joe Biden.
I don't have enough of an understanding on who is in the right here, but it is frustrating that Project Veritas has done some sneaky stuff lately to get their information, but doing the same to them in this instance might not be allowed.
It's called attorney-client privelege.
If the well is poisoned it cannot be burned because we must first understand why and how much it cost.
