The NYT reporters claimed Veritas’s investigation was “deceptive,” “false” and “without verifiable evidence”. Project Veritas responded back accusing NYT of publishing “false and defamatory statements impugning Veritas’ journalism”.  Additionally, they claimed the New York Times wrote ‘hit’ pieces driven by political bias.

In the filed lawsuit Veritas argued the case. “To accomplish its goal of discrediting Project Veritas’ investigative report, ironically, The Times conspired with a left-leaning group of academics and college students to near-simultaneously have the group publish a blog post claiming the Project Veritas investigation was a coordinated disinformation campaign, followed only an hour later by a New York Times story hyping the blog post.
