TSA Agent Miffed Over Right Winger's 'Expose'
BRONX, N.Y. (CN) - A Transportation Security Administration worker claims in court that right-wing activist James O'Keefe defamed him in a video accusing him of drinking and driving when he actually chugged a "diet Snapple iced tea, containing no alcohol."
O'Keefe, who considers himself a journalist, has been in legal hot water before for misleadingly splicing footage to make it appear that he's caught government workers engaged in misconduct.
In 2013, O'Keefe settled a lawsuit by an ACORN employee he falsely claimed had been providing advice about smuggling underage prostitutes into the United States in a sting video.
He pleaded guilty three years earlier to trying to make illegal recordings of Sen. Mary Landrieu, a Louisiana Democrat whom O'Keefe targeted for her support of the Affordable Care Act.
In this latest litigation, O'Keefe stands accused of defaming TSA employee Agustin Maldonado in a video shot on May 19 of this year.
