The New York Times has blasted a judge who ordered the paper to return documents they obtained from the conservative activist group Project Veritas. A New York judge ordered the NY Times to return all the files it obtained regarding communications between Project Veritas and their lawyers. The judge's order came as part of a defamation lawsuit filed against The Times by Project Veritas leader James O'Keef. Project Veritas denies any connection to the publication of the diary. The New York Times reported that the allegations made in the video were made: 'through unidentified sources and with no verifiable evidence.'
