PROJECT VERITAS 06/24/2021

 

 

Dear Conservatives,

After reaching out to NYT Vice President and Deputy General Counsel Dave McCraw, to demand a correction on a factually inaccurate article -- regarding Project Veritas and H.R. McMaster -- Veritas outside consel Libby Locke saw her business partner, Tom Clare, hit with threats of having his client communications publicized as a form of retaliation.

Here are some of the highlights from today’s release:

• Following the publication of a NYT article in May of this year -- which contained falsities about Veritas, which had no connection to an alleged plot aimed at discrediting former National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster – Veritas outside counsel, Libby Locke, reached out to McCraw requesting a correction.
• The language used in the NYT article admitted it was “unclear” if Veritas was even involved in the alleged plot. Yet that didn’t stop two NYT reporters from appearing on MSNBC to say that Veritas was, in fact, involved.
• In McCraw’s responsive letter, he denied the correction request and labeled the communication as “not for publication.”
• Locke replied with a letter saying Veritas would not honor the “not for publication” label, citing the NYT’s own policy for the decision. Locke instead opted to keep the communique “on the record” and admissible as evidence in court.
• In retaliation, McCraw sent a retort to Locke’s business partner, Tom Clare, saying that McCraw would no longer be honoring any similar “not for publication” notices regarding Tom’s clients – essentially threatening to expose information about Clare’s other clients, that was mutually agreed to be maintained off the record.

Veritas CEO James O’Keefe reacted to NYT’s latest shady tactic and said, “Some might call this extortion. Some might call it blackmail. It almost seems -- mobster.”  

O’Keefe added, “You [NYT] are immune from being held accountable. You’ve never been held accountable – until now.”

Project Veritas also provided McCraw’s messages to the judge overseeing the ongoing New York Times defamation case – a case in which Veritas defeated NYT’s Motion to Dismiss.

Veritas intends to go all the way to a jury verdict and rejects the possibility of accepting a financial settlement. The truth shall and must prevail.

Be Brave,

Project Veritas Team
