NEW YORK (Reuters) -A New York trial judge on Thursday temporarily blocked the New York Times from publishing some materials concerning the conservative activist group Project Veritas, a rare step that the newspaper said violated decades of First Amendment protections for the process.
The order by Justice Charles Wood of the Westchester County Supreme Court covers memos written by a Project Veritas lawyer and obtained by the Times.
Wood scheduled a hearing for next Tuesday to consider a longer prohibition against publication, and whether the Times should remove references to privileged attorney-client information in a Nov. 11 article about Project Veritas' journalism practices.
Lawyers for Project Veritas had urged Wood to intervene after "references to, descriptions of, and verbatim quotations" from memos by its lawyer Benjamin Barr appeared in the Times.
The group is also suing the Times for defamation over a September 2020 article describing a video it released alleging voter fraud in Minnesota.
In a court filing, Project Veritas called the Nov. 11 article "a bare and vindictive attempt to harm and embarrass a litigation adversary."
Times lawyers told Wood he should not impose a "draconian and disfavored restriction" against publication, without giving the newspaper a chance to show that Project Veritas' request was "factually and legally deficient."

Information the NYt’s obtained from the FBI raid.
Have the judge dismiss all charges by DOJ/FBI with prejudice and blame NYT/FBI. That would be fun.
Must be great to be a member of Brandon's Media and have armed gunthugs pretending to be "law enforcement" at your beck and call, in order to raid and intimidate your political enemies...
The Slimes decides to get even by exploiting their Position of Public Influence to intimidate a legal opponent?
that’s despicable!!
even by the Slimes low standards, it’s still totally malicious
Exactly, The FBI took the cell phone, and took the confidential information out of it and sold it to the NYT.
I wonder what was the point of publishing the stuff.

FBI thugs get 'goodies' from the New York Times... and the New York Times gets 'leaks' all taxpayers pay to gather. Reporters and elephants in bed together crafting lies... it's ugly. Project Veritas needs to 'fight on the beaches... in the hills and never give up...
