James O’Keefe, of Project Veritas, sued Twitter in New York. His lawsuit states that Twitter defamed him using provably false information that Twitter knew was false all along.
Twitter immediately filed a motion in Federal court to have the lawsuit transferred from the New York state court system to federal court.
