Lawyer for Project Veritas boss suggests feds leaked legal memos
An attorney for the founder of Project Veritas has accused the Department of Justice of tipping off the New York Times about recent raids on current and former employees.
- Attorney for Project Veritas founder accuses DOJ of leaking info to the NYT
- Says the Times knew of raid on her client's home moments after it occurred
- Suggests DOJ is the source of legal communications leaked to the paper
- Days after the raid, a federal judge ordered the DOJ to stop extracting data from two phones confiscated from founder James O'Keefe's New York residence
- The department must prove they have halted its review of the phones by Friday
- The phones are not to be touched until the court appoints a 'special master' to scour through them, per the document filed Thursday
- The order comes after O'Keefe's legal team requested Wednesday an independent party to oversee the review of the confiscated devices
- Times on Thursday published report based on the legal communications
- Conservative group is revealed seeking advice about its undercover filming
- Attorney Harmeet Dhillon calls the report a 'hit piece' and 'really despicable'
- DOJ is investigating Project Veritas in relation to theft of Ashley Biden's diary
