Ellsberg Wins Minor Victory at Pentagon Papers Trial
U.S. District Court Judge Matt Byrne struck down one espionage count tied to a volume of the Pentagon Papers, ruling it tended to exonerate Ellsberg and endangering national security if released. The ruling leaves 19 counts intact against Ellsberg and Russo Jr. and rejects seeking to strike Brig. Gen. Paul Gorman’s testimony. The court also barred evidence on the Gurtov Report count eight, finding it had no national security bearing.
