Attorneys for a man suing the Archdiocese of St. Paul and Minneapolis plan to release a deposition transcript and video clips from the deposition of Archbishop Nienstedt Tuesday at 11 a.m. The plaintiff in the suit has alleged abuse at the hands of a priest in the 1970s.

After the four-hour deposition earlier this month, attorney Jeff Anderson accused Nienstedt of leaving early and refusing to cooperate fully. A spokesman for the archdiocese disputed that allegation.
