  • James O’Keefe made good on his promise to fight back and “go on offense” against corrupt media platforms today, by filing a lawsuit against Twitter -- citing false and defamatory statements the company made about him last week.

  • Project Veritas has already sued and won on Motion to Dismiss against The New York Times for defamation and will sue CNN for similar reasons.

  • O’Keefe, who was permanently banned from Twitter on Thursday, was accused of operating “fake accounts. O’Keefe operates no fake accounts.

  • Legal Complaint reads: “This is a defamation action arising from the publication of a false and defamatory statement by Twitter on April 15, 2021 concerning its decision that day to ban Plaintiff James O’Keefe, an investigative journalist followed by over 926,000 Twitter users as of the time he was banned.”

  • The Complaint continues: “Twitter’s false and defamatory claim was that it removed Mr. O’Keefe because he “operated fake accounts.”

  • The ban came on the heels of Project Veritas’ Bombshell undercover CNN videos, showing Technical Director Charlie Chester admitting the news network is “propaganda,” designed to oust President Trump and control viewers through “fear.”

  • This most recent lawsuit against Twitter is just one in a string of litigation O’Keefe and Project Veritas have lined up.

[WESTCHESTER, NY – Apr. 19, 2021] Project Veritas founder and CEO James O’Keefe sued Twitter in The Supreme Court of New York today, over “false and defamatory” statements made by the Big Tech giant.

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe’s Twitter account was suspended Thursday, a day after he released secretly-recorded video of a CNN staffer boasting that his network produced ̶. Twitter on Thursday suspended Project Veritas’s James O’Keefe’s account for violations of 'manipulation and spam,' according to the social media platform. We would like to show you a description here but the site won’t allow us.

The lawsuit was set in motion after O’Keefe’s personal account -- with nearly one million followers -- received a permanent ban from Twitter, for operating “fake accounts.”

The ban was issued almost immediately following Veritas’ release of Bombshell undercover CNN videos, where Technical Director Charlie Chester calls the network “propaganda” and admits to using “fear” as a way to drive viewership.

Twitter’s accusation of operating fake accounts was immediately challenged by O’Keefe, who maintains he has never done so.

O’Keefe intends to show how Twitter acted with “reckless disregard” for the “falsity of this claim.”

Despite these efforts to silence the truth – Project Veritas will continue to seek remedy in the courts where the rule of law has final say.
