Trump Donated to Project Veritas Before Organization Tried to Trick Washington Post With Outrageous Roy Moore Claim
Trump Donated to Project Veritas Before Organization Tried to Trick Washington Post With Outrageous Roy Moore Claim Christal Hayes 20 hours ago
President Donald Trump donated to an agency with a history of trying to take down liberal organizations, an agency that is now accused of trying to dupe the Washington Post with a fake Roy Moore claim in an undercover operation.
The newspaper found out that a woman was lying after contacting reporters with a false claim that she'd become pregnant after having sex with Alabama Senate candidate Roy Moore when she was a teenage girl. She claimed he then took her to get an abortion.
Reporters and researchers for The Post traced the woman back to Project Veritas, a controversial group known for its undercover "sting" operations that often target liberal ideals or groups. The organization has been behind controversial and edited videos that have targeted CNN and Planned Parenthood.
The controversial group also has ties to the commander in chief.
About a month before Trump announced his candidacy for president, his charity, the Trump Foundation, gave $10,000 to Project Veritas.
Neat little hit piece: Reporters and researchers for The Post traced the woman back to Project Veritas, a controversial group known for its undercover "sting" operations that often target liberal ideals or groups. The organization has been behind controversial and edited videos that have targeted CNN and Planned Parenthood.
I have no idea if this woman is really a Project Veritas operative or not, or how deeply she is involved, if at all, with PV, but cheap little shots like "controversial" (applicable only to Conservative organizations), "edited videos" (edited for time, full length videos are available), and the words "Yahoo" and "Washington Post" make me skeptical of this whole story.
Zitat"Because of our customary journalistic rigor, we weren't fooled," The Washington Post's co-authors Shawn Boburg, Aaron C. Davis and Alice Crites said in their viral article detailing the scheme on Monday. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investiga...m=.ba4f4c34df8f
