SDNY COURTHOUSE,
Nov 19 –
In the litigation triggered by
the seizure of cell phones
from Project Veritas' James
O'Keefe related to the diary
that may or may not be Ashley
Biden's, O'Keefe on November
15 asked U.S. District Court
for the Southern District of
New York Judge Analisa Torres
to order the prosecutors to
"inform
the court if the government -
including the FBI or any other
governmental agency - leaked
Project Veritas's
attorney-client privileged
memoranda to the New York
Times" and "identify who at
the government is responsible
for the previous
leaks."
The request
includes message to O'Keefe
asking for comment and says
"the New York Times' repeated
use of information
demonstrably leaked to it by
the government renders the New
York Times little more than
the government's press
secretary."
The US
responded asking to be granted
until November 19 to respond.
And on November 19 DOJ did
respond, with the argument
that Project Veritas did not
just "passively receive" the
diary they say was stolen, but
in essence stole it. It's hard
to know - the US Attorney's
Office has redacted large
parts of its response. We'll
have more on this - watch this
site.
The New
York Times, as of this
writing, has not sought to
intervene.
Inner City Press
will stay on the case(s).
