An embarrassing disclosure by federal lawyers revealed the weaknesses in the government’s bid to end the New York toll program. It could mark a turning point in the case.

Lawyers for the federal government briefly uploaded a letter laying out a longshot argument to revoke approval for the MTA's congestion pricing tolls.

We know that thanks to an apparent error on the part of the DOJ’s legal team, which uploaded and then removed an internal memo offering its opinion that the effort to kill the tolls is “unlikely” to win over the court.
