Project Veritas has accused former Trump Attorney General Bill Barr of plotting to block President Donald Trump’s political comeback.
The stunning accusation is based on testimony from whistleblower Patrícia Lélis, a former Brazilian journalist at Howard Stirk Holdings, which is owned by political commentator Armstrong Williams.
After she was hired by Howard Stirk Holdings in 2021, she allegedly “attended dozens of meetings where Barr and others devised legal strategies to target Trump supporters and block his political comeback,” according to Project Veritas.

As proof, Lélis provided Project Veritas with her handwritten notes and photos from the meetings that took place between 2021 and 2023.
One meeting that happened on Sept. 13, 2021, involved Armstrong Williams, Barr, and CNN’s Shermichael Singleton. According to Project Veritas, the meeting “focused on strategizing for the newly formed January 6th Committee.”
“The investigation will be focused on people close to Trump and make efforts to formally prosecute these people,” Lélis wrote in a note.
Her notes also revealed that Barr at one point handed out a list of targets that included Steve Bannon, Rudy Giuliani, Stewart Rhodes, Enrique Tarrio, Jeffrey Clark, the Oath Keepers, and the Proud Boys.
“Following this meeting, many of these individuals were subsequently subpoenaed to testify before the January 6 Committee or faced charges related to January 6th or the 2020 election,” Project Veritas notes.
Her notes further revealed that Barr, at one point, was in discussions with disgraced Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and then-special prosecutor Jack Smith about planned prosecutions in Florida, Georgia, and New York.
During one meeting, Barr allegedly predicted there’d be an FBI raid on Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home “soon.” He was only five months too early.
Notes from another meeting between Barr and Willis that happened on Feb. 27, 2023, showed that Barr used the meeting to advise Willis to pursue RICO charges against Trump.
“Bill Barr was like, we should bring RICO because it’s a very difficult type of charge to defend,” the notes read.
According to Lélis, the goal of all these meetings and correspondence was to block Trump from returning to power.
“One thing that I understood very well is like Bill Barr and Armstrong and all the politicians too, they’re very focused like in how they go to stop Trump,” she told Project Veritas.
She’s also accused Barr and Williams of participating in an illegal immigration visa fraud scheme for billionaires:

After being hired by Howard Stirk Holdings, she was allegedly “pulled into a visa fraud scheme to secure U.S. visas and green cards for wealthy clients,” according to Project Veritas.
“Lélis alleges that Williams and his legal counsel, NY Assemblyman Clyde Vanel, instructed her to craft business plans for fake companies, like ‘Reis Cosmetics,’ to obtain E2 Investor Visas, which allow foreign nationals to work in the U.S. by investing in a business,” Project Veritas notes.
Texts reviewed by Project Veritas confirm that Williams at one point directed Lélis to collect $700,000 for having created a business plan for Peter and Vivienne Reis’ E-2 visa application.
When she responded by raising concerns about the fake contract, Williams reportedly threatened her.
“$700,000 is nothing… you are living in the richest country in the world…stop asking so many questions and do your job if you don’t want to lose your greencard,” he wrote in one text.
Within a couple months of her employment as a journalist for conservative media figure, Armstrong Williams, Patricia was tasked with creating business plans for wealthy foreigners for U.S. visa applications.

Lélis has also claimed that Barr not only knew about all this but also used burner phones to talk about and conceal everything.
“It is way more easy to defraud the immigration system and the government more than people think — and I have proof of that because that’s what Armstrong and Bill Barr does,” she said in an interview with Project Veritas.
“Bill Barr knows the companies that they launched for the visa was not real companies. After they got their visas, I discovered they do not have any plan to open and operate the company. So, it’s basically like they create a fake company that I helped to create with them,” she said.
Lélis eventually reported the alleged scheme to the FBI, after which the then-Biden DOJ indicted her on Jan. 4 on 19 charges, including wire fraud, unlawful monetary transactions, and aggravated identity theft.
