An account linked to Project Veritas has been suspended by Twitter after posting a video accusing a CNN producer of soliciting nude photos of an underage girl and fantasizing about molesting another child.
The account ‘@investigatecnn’, was suspended for unspecified violations of Twitter’s rules on Saturday, two days after Project Veritas released a video in which a CNN producer – later identified as Rick Saleeby- is asking his now ex- fiancé, nude pics of her teenage daughter and fantasizing about sex acts with a child.
The woman, former sex worker Janine Bonanni, engaged for a decade in a sexual relationship with Saleeby, a producer for CNN’s ‘The Lead with Jake Tapper’.
The @investigatecnn account, according to Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe, was suspended shortly after Saleeby’s name was released by his investigative journalism outlet– with the permission of Bonanni, whose interview has been viewed about 1.3 million times.
At the time Twitter suspended the account that posted the video, Tapper’s name was trending, O’Keefe said, underscoring that the question now is if CNN was putting pressure on Twitter to take down the video since the case is about pedophilia and a potential abuse against an underage girl.
No comment yet on the case has been received from CNN.
Pointing that she’s pushing for Saleeby to be criminally charged, his ex-fiancé Bonanni sent a thank you note to Project Veritas expressing gratitude for having saved them all from him.
To back up her accusations, Bonanni, now a case manager for sexual assault victims, presented text conversations and a telephone call recording with Saleeby, who demanded in one if his texts if Bonanni would give him mother-daughter nudes for his help. i.e. the money that he gave her.
Bonanni’s allegations come in the wake of the of last week’s development in which CNN fired John Griffin, another producer who was arrested on December 10 for allegedly enticing children to engage in sexual activity.
Ironically, Saleeby spoke to Bonanni after Griffin’s arrest, calling his fellow producer a pervert and a scumbag despite as she added, doing the exact same thing. Saleeby also spoke about allegations of sexual misconduct against another CNN producer in a hidden camera video incorporated in another Project Veritas report in 2019
Another Project Veritas account permanently banned on Twitter last February after posting a video of one of its staffers confronting a Facebook executive about his leaked comments regarding censorship tools.
