In a blow to thousands of 9/11 families, a federal magistrate has ruled that their New York law firm and its chief investigator “willfully breached” court “protective orders” by leaking to a reporter the deposition of a Saudi diplomat “to embarrass Saudi Arabia and gain an advantage in this case.”

U.S. Magistrate Sarah Netburn immediately sealed her order. But docket notes about it state, “When the Court tried to investigate this breach, Kreindler & Kreindler engaged in a sustained campaign of delay and obstruction.”
