    Conservative Provocateur Behind Democrat Election ‘Rigging’ Videos Hit with Million-Dollar Federal Conspiracy Lawsuit

    During the heat of the 2016 presidential election, a conservative group named Project Veritas resurfaced when they released a series of hotly-debated videos that they claimed exposed rampant “election rigging” by Democratic operatives.

    Then-candidate Donald Trump later used the videos to base his claim that “the Clinton campaign has paid people to disrupt violently, our rallies,” and rig the election. We should also note that, as Think Progress and later NBC News reported, the Trump Foundation paid Project Veritas’s leader James O’Keefe $10,000 in 2015.

    At the time, Democrats of course fought back fiercely, claiming the sting videos were selectively edited to smear the Democrats and cast undue doubt over the Hillary Clinton campaign. Now O’Keefe and Project Veritas have been hit with a $1 million conspiracy lawsuit over the videos.
