A female undercover journalist from Project Veritas attended a national conference for state attorney generals in New York City. While there, she met Maryland Deputy Attorney General Thiruvendran Vignarajah, who attempted to lure the journalist to his hotel room. Vignargian, who is married, proceeded to disclose confidential information to the journalist, presumably in order to impress her. He expressed his views on the Second Amendment and his desire to ban guns entirely, in addition to texting the journalist details of what he would like to do with her. Plans were made for another hotel meet-up and once inside the hotel room, he leaked confidential information concerning the Environmental Protection Agency and shared inside information on Attorney General Brian Frosh’s run for governor.
