Former President Trump congratulated Project Veritas on its recent win against the New York Times. A judge ruled in favor of the right-wing guerilla news outlet which will allow a current defamation suit filed against The New York Times to move forward. In a video, Trump congratulated Project Veritas on the win and offered a glowing endorsement of the news outlet and its commitment to uncovering the truth, “they do incredible work, they find things nobody would even believe possible.”

Fox News reports:

A New York judge denied the paper’s motion to dismiss the suit by the right-wing guerilla news outlet over the Times’ portrayal of Project Veritas’ reporting on alleged voter fraud in the congressional district represented by Ilhan Omar, D-Minn. last fall.

Times reporters Maggie Astor and Tiffany Hsu described Project Veritas’ reporting as “deceptive,” “false,” and “with no verifiable evidence.”

“The facts submitted by Veritas could indicate more than standard, garden variety media bias and support a plausible inference of actual malice,” Supreme Court Justice Charles Wood wrote in his ruling last week. “There is a substantial basis in law to proceed to permit the plaintiff to conduct discovery and to then attempt to meet its higher standard of proving liability through clear and convincing evidence of actual malice.”

Wood elaborated, “If a writer interjects an opinion in a news article (and will seek to claim legal protections as opinion) it stands to reason that the writer should have an obligation to alert the reader, including a court that may need to determine whether it is factor opinion, that it is opinion.”

Project Veritas founder, James O’Keefe traveled to Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort to meet with the former president where he congratulated him on the win.
