– that a source contacted the Record, and a member of the city council, with information that Newell"did not have a valid driver's license and had ignored what the source said were repeated violation of driving laws by Newell." After Newell made public comments at the city council meeting alleging the Record had illegally gotten and shared sensitive documents, the Record published a story Thursday detailing its actions and decrying Newell's accusations as false.
