‘Spill’ of potentially classified messages upends Proud Boys trial

The spreadsheet was sent to defense attorneys in November, but it wasn’t until the last week when attorney Nicholas Smith, representing Washington state Proud Boy leader Ethan Nordean, said he’d discovered thousands of hidden rows in the document

Those rows contained messages from other FBI agents to Miller and, in at least one case, an apparent reference to an agent accessing potentially privileged attorney-client communications involving another defendant, Zachary Rehl.
