One former F&M trustee, a distinguished law prof., said he’s never seen an instance where the gov't attempted to say it had been defamed.

Goodbye NYC:
I’ve taken a voluntary layoff from @WNYC/@Gothamist, with severance (❤️ you @NYPR_Union). It’s been a privilege to talk on the radio for 11 years: I filed ~2,000 stories, guest-hosted 5 shows, exposed abuse in ICE & at Rikers, helped win a Peabody for #Bridgegate 1/3

Wayne LaPierre’s lawyer described him as “the face and voice” of the N.R.A. “He had given the role everything he had, but he had only been playing a character,” @mikespiesnyc writes. A recent trial “required him to tell the truth, leaving him unmasked.” nyer.cm/iqAOMT7
