Defense seeks special hearing in Pentagon Papers case
The defense to the Ellsberg and Russo Pentagon Papers case asks Judge Matt Byrne for a special hearing on government wiretaps involving the defense team. They seek to pause the trial while they review what the government has told the court. The judge asked for further legal citations and postponed ruling, noting a possible need for testimony from government agents. The motion follows a secret government report and an affidavit denying direct wiretaps of counsel, while defense allegations accuse prosecutors of deceit and misbehavior. Ellsberg and Russo face espionage, conspiracy and theft charges over the Vietnam War documents leak.
