New York Times Ordered to Destroy Legal Memos, Reporting on Project Veritas

• A New York state judge ruled on Friday that The New York Times should return documents it obtained about the conservative group Project Veritas.
• The court ruled that the documents, written by a lawyer for the group, are privileged.
• The New York Times said it would appeal the decision, with publisher A.G. Sulzberger saying it should “raise alarms” for press freedom.
