Project Veritas Founder James O’Keefe files defamation suit against CNN
Twitter and the the New York Times are also facing lawsuits from O’Keefe.
Project Veritas’ James O’Keefe announced Monday he filed a defamation lawsuit against CNN in Georgia.
The lawsuit alleges malice on the part of CNN anchor Ana Cabrera, who made comments on-air about Twitter’s censorship of conservative accounts under the guise of cracking down on “disinformation.”
Project Veritas released a statement announcing the lawsuit, “Project Veritas is undefeated in court and will continue to expose the media, government, Big Tech, and any other organization that seeks to defame and destroy the reputations of hard-working and honest citizens.
The lawsuit notes that Cabrera made contradictory remarks during her coverage of the story with malicious intent to mislead the public on the nature of Twitter’s ban of O’Keefe.
“CNN’s factual claim that Project Veritas was banned for ‘promoting misinformation,’ instead of truthful reporting of private facts, is patently and demonstrably false, and CNN maliciously made its claims with knowledge they were false or with reckless disregard for their falsity,” the suit reads.
