Mamaroneck Organization Tries To Trick Washington Post
The Post said a woman working with the organization was promoting a story that she had an abortion after being impregnated by Roy Moore.

MAMARONECK, NY — A Mamaroneck-based organization that targets mainstream news media and liberal groups is behind a scheme to trick the Washington Post into publishing a false accusation against Republican Senate candidate Roy Moore. According to an article in the Washington Post, a woman came to them alleging that Moore got her pregnant in 1992 when she was 15.
Post reporters confronted the woman with inconsistencies in her story, as well as an internet post which implied she wanted a job with a conservative media outlet to “combat lies” of the “liberal” mainstream media, the Washington Post said.
The woman — named Jaime Phillips — was later seen by Post reporters going into the 1214 E. Boston Post Road offices of Project Veritas in Mamaroneck.

O’Keefe, however, essentially admitted what his organization tried to do to his supporters in an email.

He wrote that months of undercover work ended when the woman who was embedded had her cover blown, CNN.com said.
O’Keefe has said on Twitter that he has other Post-related videos in the works.
In 2010, O’Keefe was convicted of a misdemeanor entering a federal building with a fake identity for a sting operation, syracuse.com said.
