A bankruptcy judge in Delaware has ordered more than 120 people to reveal any contact with Bloomberg reporters in the last 60 days, prompting the news outlet to ask a state district court to overrule the judge's order and sparking an outcry from a broad coalition of media organizations.
Prompted by alleged “leaks of sensitive, non-public information” in the bankruptcy proceedings of mining company Molycorp, Judge Christopher Sontchi has ordered debtors and creditors in the case -- as well as their legal representatives -- to file a declaration by Tuesday detailing any contact with Bloomberg. Bloomberg reporter Jodi Xu Klein published several articles in December and January containing confidential information about the case, the judge’s ruling says.
