Sanders Campaign To Pay Foreign Government Election Meddling Fine
Project Veritas Action recorded Australian Labor Party activists talking about their illegal activities for the VT Senator in NH in 2016.
CONCORD, NH — Bernie Sanders’ 2016 presidential campaign is paying a civil fine to the Federal Elections Commission for foreign government election meddling after videos recorded by undercover journalists were used in a complaint against the campaign. Project Veritas Action – the org that has been working to uncover vote fraud in many states – video recorded members of the Australian Labor Party talking about their work for the Sanders campaign in both New Hampshire and Nevada. Project Veritas Action released the videos in 2016, as part of a series of releases uncovering out-of-state staffers registering to vote at campaign offices and other election anomalies.

The Australian press went wild after the release of the videos where the labor activists bragged that taxpayers in that country were paying for illegal activity for the democratic socialist independent who ran as a Democrat in the primary. After seeing the videos, former New Hampshire Speaker William O’Brien, R-Mont Vernon, filed a complaint with the FEC since the activity by the labor activists was a prohibited foreign contribution to the Sanders campaign.

"Now that Project Veritas Action has uncovered undisputable video evidence that a foreign government illegally interfered with the 2016 presidential election," said James O'Keefe, founder and President of Project Veritas Action, "will the mainstream media finally cover it?"
O’Brien reportedly will be asking the U.S. Attorney to file criminal charges in the case.
