The Times said it would immediately challenge the “unconstitutional” order.
the New York Times from publishing certain documents about the right-wing activist group Project Veritas.
"This ruling is unconstitutional and sets a dangerous precedent. When a court silences journalism, it fails its citizens and undermines their right to know. The Supreme Court made that clear in the Pentagon Papers case, a landmark ruling against prior restraint blocking the publication of newsworthy journalism. That principle clearly applies here. We are seeking an immediate review of this decision,” Baquet said.
Project Veritas petitioned Wood to step in after the Times published an article on Nov. 11 based on a set of memos the news outlet obtained that were written by a lawyer for Project Veritas, Benjamin Barr. A year ago, Project Veritas had sued the Times for defamation over a separate article about the group’s work.
Project Veritas’s lead attorney Libby Locke disputed in an email to BuzzFeed News that Thursday’s order was an act of prior restraint — “Nonsense,” she wrote — since the Times previously had published a link to the memos. According to an affidavit that Locke filed in court, the link was no longer active.
