New York Times sues Pentagon over Carter's private emails

Attorneys for the New York Times will appear in federal court Tuesday to request a full release of more than 1,000 emails Defense Secretary Ash Carter sent over a private email account, according to a report.

The New York Times obtained a redacted copy of Carter’s emails through a Freedom of Information Act request in December, but those emails were overly redacted, they claim. Citing unwarranted black-outs, the Times additionally filed a lawsuit against the Pentagon, seeking a less-redacted version of Carter’s emails.
