Reuters reports: “A former White House aide fighting perjury charges should not get access to reporters’ notes and other newsroom material because they have no relevance to his case, several news outlets told a U.S. judge on Tuesday. The New York Times, NBC News and Time magazine also argued that press freedom would be damaged if they were forced to hand over the material sought by former vice presidential aide Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby’s defense team.”
More: “NBC said nobody at the company, including reporters Tim Russert and Andrea Mitchell, has any documents relevant to the perjury charges.”
