Judge orders Glenn Beck to reveal sources for Boston Marathon bombing accusations
Source: New York Daily News
Glenn Beck must reveal who told him a Saudi Arabian student was the money man behind the Boston Marathon bombing, a judge ruled Tuesday.
The right-wing commentator is fighting a defamation lawsuit filed by Abdulrahman Alharbi, who was injured in the April 15, 2013, attack that killed three people. Investigators said brothers Tamerlan and Dzhokar Tsarnaev had plotted and carried out the bombing at the finish line.
Yet Beck called Alharbi an armed and dangerous terrorist and referred to him as the money man and the guy who actually paid for it even after top officials said Alharbi had nothing to do with the bombing, according to the lawsuit. Alharbi was questioned but cleared within days.
U.S. District Court Judge Patti Saris ordered Beck and his producer to reveal the names of two Department of Homeland Security employees they said had linked Alharbi to the attack, Politico reported. Beck said in earlier depositions that he never spoke to the sources, and his producer said he wrote down quotes on Post-it notes that he threw away, according to the ruling.
