December 30, 1971 - Daniel Ellsberg, a Defense Department analyst, and his colleague Anthony Russo were indicted by a federal grand jury for releasing the Pentagon Papers to the news media. The papers were part of a 7000-page, top-secret government history of the United States’ political and military involvement in the Vietnam War from 1945 to 1971, and described air strikes over Laos, raids along the coast of North Vietnam, and offensive actions taken by U.S. Marines well before the American public had been told that such actions had occurred.

Gulf of Tonkin incident
"The original American report blamed North Vietnam for both incidents, but the Pentagon Papers, the memoirs of Robert McNamara, and NSA publications from 2005 proved material misrepresentation by the US government to justify a war against Vietnam."

In a 6-3 decision, SCOTUS rejected a prior restraint prohibiting The New York Times and The Washington Post from publishing excerpts of the #PentagonPapers, holding that the government had not met the exceptionally high bar needed to justify a prior restraint.

New York Times Co. v. United States, 403 U.S. 713 (1971)

New York Times Co. v. United States: The First Amendment overrides the federal government’s interest in keeping certain documents, such as the Pentagon Papers, classified.

Justia Law

June 13, 1971 - The New York Times began publishing the Pentagon Papers, a series of excerpts from the Defense Department’s classified history of the Vietnam War, giving details of U.S. involvement in Vietnam from the end of World War II to 1968. Publication was interrupted after the Nixon administration went to court to block it, asserting its power to exercise prior restraint over public release of what it considered classified material. The Washington Post then began publishing the papers. On June 30 the Supreme Court, 6-3, allowed publication to resume.
