Apple Inc injected a new level of intrigue in its bitter court fight with Epic Games Inc, suggesting the Fortnite maker was acting as a stalking horse for Microsoft Corp and withholding evidence.

The iPhone maker made the accusations Wednesday night in a filing asking a judge to make an adverse credibility finding against Lori Wright, an Xbox executive who testified in the trial on behalf of Epic. That would mean the judge could ignore her testimony.
