ACORN Drops Lawsuit Against Filmmakers, Breitbart
Tweet
ACORN has voluntarily dropped a lawsuit stemming from a hidden-camera video that showed its employees giving advice to a pair dressed as a pimp and a prostitute.
The multimillion-dollar lawsuit was filed last year in Baltimore. It contends the audio portion of the video was obtained illegally because Maryland law requires the consent of both parties to record private conversations.
ACORN attorney Andrew Freeman says the activist organization is still plotting its legal strategy, and he will likely refile the lawsuit.
It was withdrawn before a deadline for serving it on the defendants.
One of the defendants, James O’Keefe, has since been charged with trying to tamper with Sen. Mary Landrieu’s New Orleans office phones.
