Project Veritas, led by James O'Keefe, has used what critics view as deceptive tactics to expose what it describes as liberal media bias. Neither the Times nor Project Veritas was immediately available for comment. Joel Kurtzberg, a lawyer for the Times, told Wood a longer ban in the Project Veritas case could have broad, negative ramifications for journalists. "What Project Veritas is seeking here is not about the continued use of information within this litigation, but limiting what journalists report and do outside this litigation," Kurtzberg said. Libby Locke, a lawyer for Project Veritas, countered that the Times' use of the memos "compromises the uninhibited, robust communication between a client and lawyer."
