Justice Dept. won't charge Project Veritas in diary investigation
Share and Follow


() The Justice Department announced it will not be bringing charges against anyone affiliated with Project Veritas following a long-running investigation.

The investigation centered on the group’s attempts to publish the contents of a diary stolen from President Joe Biden’s daughter.

The effort took place in the final weeks of the 2020 campaign season, with the group becoming involved in efforts to try to obtain and publish the diary, according to court filings in related cases.

According to court filings, investigators learned that Project Veritas paid for the diary and asked individuals who sold it to them to steal more items from Ashley Biden’s home to authenticate it.

Prosecutors did not say why they were not bringing additional charges, and it’s unclear if the change in administration is related to the decision.

President Donald Trump has long been a fan of the group and its founder, James O’Keefe. The organization used sting operations and undercover videos in an effort to embarrass or discredit liberal organizations and mainstream media outlets.

O’Keefe left Project Veritas two years ago after facing accusations of misspending donor money. Like Trump, O’Keefe portrayed himself as a victim of the government.

He has since started a new organization with a similar mission.
