Defense attorneys for those facing felony conspiracy counts pressed Bryan Adelmeyer of the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department about the background of Project Veritas. More than 200 people, including several journalists, were caught up in a mass arrest that day, when demonstrators seeking to disrupt Trump’s inauguration gathered, many of them wearing black. Adelmeyer testified on Wednesday that he provided a false name when he infiltrated a protest-planning meeting held in a church basement in early January. Adelmeyer said he later found out that a Project Veritas operative had been at the same meeting. Adelmeyer testified Wednesday that he didn’t “really follow” Project Veritas before he learned about the video.
