WHOA! Report Alleges U.S. Spied on Big Tech Accounts of Project Veritas Employees

Reclaim The Net reported the U.S. Government targeted Project Veritas undercover journalism group, using secret orders to Apple Google Microsoft.

Reclaim The Net provided several documents showing search warrants from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and secret orders issued by courts to tech companies Apple, Google and Microsoft. These searches were for private Project Veritas accounts.

Project Veritas sent details of the secret orders to Microsoft in a written communication. Reclaim The Net reported that the information about Microsoft came out while a case was before a federal judge concerning an FBI raid on the homes of Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe and two other Project Veritas employees.

Reclaim The Net reports that nine warrants and subpoenas were issued by the U.S. Department of Justice to Google and Apple, between November 2020-March 2021.

The orders required Apple and Google to hand over information concerning “Project Veritas and its security detail,” Reclaim The Net wrote. According to some reports, the DOJ ordered tech firms not reveal that they were providing the government with private information.

A February subpoena on a Project Veritas gmail account, reportedly shared by Reclaim The Net, said it was issued due to “an official criminal investigation of a suspected felony.”

The subpoena demanded “[a]ll subscriber identifying information” for the gmail account, including “social security number,” “[b]rowser and operating system information,” “date of birth” and “address,” according to Reclaim The Net.

The March 22 letter reportedly sent by Project Veritas to a New York District Court said that “[t]he Government Secretly Obtained Voluminous Privileged Project Veritas Materials from Microsoft.”

The letter posted by Reclaim The Net included extensive details on the court’s order regarding Microsoft and Project Veritas, including FBI search warrants. One reported FBI “Search Warrant and Non-Disclosure Order” to Microsoft listed several Project Veritas emails and claimed the accounts “contain evidence, fruits, and instrumentalities of crime.” 

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe told Fox News host Sean Hannity that his home was raided, and his cellphone with confidential donor information confiscated, by the FBI. O’Keefe said that during the raid, FBI agents had a battering ram and that he was handcuffed and thrown against the hallway.
