Lawyers for Huawei Technologies Co. are violating a court order by sharing documents from the company’s sanctions-violations case in New York with Chief Financial Officer Meng Wanzhou for use in her fight against extradition from Canada, U.S. prosecutors claim.
U.S. District Judge Ann Donnelly in Brooklyn, New York, had ruled that thousands of pages of classified documents turned over by the U.S. government to Huawei’s defense lawyers couldn’t be shared with anyone in China or with Meng, but federal prosecutors said Wednesday that recent filings by the CFO in her extradition case show she’s had access to them.
