Defamation can be shown where the alleged defamatory material is false or whether it was published with reckless disregard as to whether it was true or false.

So, as part of their defense, BuzzFeed wants the feds to produce material showing how much of it was true.

IMHO, that is somewhat minor, since it doesn't go to state of mind at the time it was published.
