Right-wing muckraking enterprise Project Veritas and its former corrupt leader James O’Keefe have settled a defamation lawsuit brought by the postmaster of Erie, Pennsylvania for the group’s effort to spread a lie that fraudulent workers at a city postal facility were planting fake mail ballots for Biden into the mail system to be counted in the 2020 election, NBC News reports.
Although the terms of the settlement were not released, the lawyer representing Erie Postmaster Robert Weisenbach said, “the case was settled to the satisfaction of the parties,” but it was clear that it ended in Weisenbach’s favor after O’Keefe released a public statement saying, he was “aware of no evidence or other allegation that election fraud occurred in the Erie Post Office during the 2020 Presidential Election.” In other words, all the conspiracy theories about Post Office workers rigging the mail-in vote for Biden was bullshit.
