Overview

• Project Veritas has released three videos featuring Patricia Lélis’s allegation that former attorney general Bill Barr conspired with prosecutor Fani Willis and commentator Armstrong Williams to target President Trump.
• Major right-wing influencers including Alex Jones, Dinesh D’Souza and Mario Nawfal have widely shared the videos, driving online attacks on Barr as a traitor.
• Independent reporting highlights that the claims remain single-source and contain clear factual inconsistencies, such as Merrick Garland serving as attorney general during the period in question.
• Lélis, a Brazilian national indicted for wire fraud and reportedly hiding in Mexico, has a documented history of alleged fabrications and forged evidence that casts doubt on her credibility.
• Project Veritas defends its vetting process—saying it reviewed Lélis’s psychological profiles and legal documents—and signals that additional releases are forthcoming.
