Criminal prosecutors may soon get to see over 900 documents pertaining to the alleged theft of a diary belonging to President Joe Biden’s daughter after a judge rejected the conservative group Project Veritas’ First Amendment claim.
Attorney Jeffrey Lichtman said on behalf of the nonprofit Monday that attorneys are considering appealing last Thursday’s ruling by U.S. District Judge Analisa Torres in Manhattan. In the written decision, the judge said the documents can be given to investigators by Jan. 5.
The documents were produced from raids that were authorized in November 2021. Electronic devices were also seized from the residences of three members of Project Veritas, including two mobile phones from the home of James O’Keefe, the group’s since-fired founder.
Project Veritas, founded in 2010, identifies itself as a news organization. It is best known for conducting hidden camera stings that have embarrassed news outlets, labor organizations and Democratic politicians.
James O’Keefe and Project Veritas have to be some of the biggest scumbags in political disinformation and hoaxes, yet the damage is done and millions of right wing idiots and their biases believe every claim without a second thought.
Also:
ABC News burying the lede here by not mentioning that they’re embarrassing these people but purposefully editing those “sting videos” while also manufacturing evidence and paying off people to say they are witnesses while not actually being witnesses to anything.
Anybody paying attention to American politics should be made well aware of these clowns and their attempts to help usher in American fascism:

“In September 2023, Project Veritas suspended all operations after laying off most of its employees.”
