A DITCHED plot by conservative group Project Veritas to ensnare President Trump’s former National Security Advisor H.R. McMaster back in 2018 reportedly involved offering a $10,000 sum to glamorous journalist Tarah Price to try and flirt with him at an upscale D.C. eatery.
Project Veritas had its sights set on McMaster as a target after he had been overheard calling the 45th president an “idiot” and having the intelligence of a “kindergartner” during a meal at the capital-based Italian restaurant Tosca that was attended by an Oracle executive, according to a New York Times report.
That group, founded by James O’Keefe hatched an operation to pursue McMaster by wiring up a woman with a hidden camera and catch him running his mouth off about Trump while his guard was down.
The Times claims Tarah Price was brought in and dangled $10,000 by Project Veritas to convince her to participate in the operation.
According to the report, a March 2018 email involving Price’s former boyfriend alleged that she was “going to get paid $10,000 to go undercover and set up some big-name political figure in Washington.”
The Times report notes that there’s no verification as to who was putting up the five figures and noted the ex was clueless as to McMaster being the target.
McMaster later resigned on March 22.
The Tosca sting operation was reportedly abandoned in March 2018, the same month McMaster resigned.
Price did not respond to the Times’ requests for comment.
Project Veritas did not respond to specific questions about any of its operations but O’Keefe called the Times report “a smear piece” in a video response.
“Adam, if you’re asking these questions suffice it to say you have your facts wrong and it appears you’re going to print based upon supposition, rumor, and speculation rather than verifiable facts,” said O’Keefe addressing Times reporter Adam Goldman.

Part of the brain trust behind Project Veritas’ alleged plots to target and expose President Donald Trump’s perceived enemies were former MI6 officer Richard Seddon who was recruited by Erik Prince, founder of the Blackwater military contractor and running field operations through mid-2018.
Another alleged recruit in Project Veritas’ operations was former reality star Anna Khait, who was brought on to reportedly expose a “deep state” that conservative activists claimed was working to undermine the former president.
The article suggests that Khait was cast along with other women to live in a six-bedroom spread near Georgetown and given tradecraft code names like “Brazil” and “Tiger.”
Khait has denied she was working as a honeytrapper, tweeting: “The NYT is about to get sued and LOSE again by Project Veritas. Libel and slander is typical of #FakeNews.”
She continued to hammer the paper of record.
“Investigating and keeping our government in check is what JOURNALISTS are supposed to do,” she wrote in a separate tweet.
“Instead, the New York Times attacks those who are doing THEIR job! Unbelievable.”
