BP accuses Feds of hiding spill size

Late Thursday, the oil company asked U.S. Magistrate Sally Shushan in New Orleans to order the government to turn over thousands of documents that appear to relate to “flow rate issues’’ and the work of scientists who served on the government’s “Flow Rate Technical Group’’ following the 2010 spill.
