Snap must turn over some emails from Chief Executive Officer Evan Spiegel and other top executives for use in Meta Platforms Inc.’s defense from a government antitrust challenge, a judge ruled Monday.

Boasberg held off on deciding some issues, including how much Snap must turn over about its investors and 2017 initial public offering, and ordered lawyers for Snap and Meta to negotiate over additional details.
