Federal judge blames Yahoo!News for publishing 9/11 story based on diplomat's leaked deposition; upholds sanctions on victims' law firm
By Dan Christensen, FloridaBulldog.org
The federal judge handling the multi-billion-dollar 9/11 lawsuit against Saudi Arabia has accused Yahoo!News of “permanently” damaging the effectiveness of court “protective” orders by publishing a 2021 story about an FBI attempt to “flip” a Saudi diplomat based on a leaked copy of the diplomat’s deposition in the case.
Last week’s 30-page order by New York Senior U.S. District Judge George Daniels upheld sanctions imposed on the Kreindler & Kreindler law firm by Magistrate Sarah Netburn for leaking diplomat Musaed al Jarrah’s deposition to investigative reporter Michael Isikoff and then attempting to cover up the firm’s role in the leak.
