For example, Dan Harrie — The Salt Lake Tribune’s editor of government and politics — received solicitations by email from the group for at least 19 months, including a flurry since its run-in with The Post. Harrie said he has no idea how he landed on its email list.
Harrie also did not know that such solicitations may violate Utah law until The Post reported that Utah and Mississippi had stripped the group of licenses needed to raise money because of a criminal conviction by its chief, James O’Keefe.
Russell Verney, executive director of Project Veritas, said Harrie would have had to sign up personally for emails from the group — or someone else signed up using his name.
