Conservative activist James O’Keefe is one of four men now charged with a misdemeanor for entering Sen. Mary Landrieu’s office in Louisiana.
Washington (CNN) – Prosecutors have reduced the charges against four men accused of trying to tamper with the phone system in the New Orleans office of Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-Louisiana.
The case involves James O’Keefe, the conservative activist who played a pimp in videos that later embarassed ACORN, the community organizing group now in the process of shuttering its operations. The case also involves Robert Flanagan, the son of an acting U.S. attorney from Louisiana’s Western District.
The U.S. Attorney’s office for the Eastern District of Louisiana said Friday that O’Keefe, Flanagan and the two other associates are now charged with entering federal property under false pretenses, a misdemeanor.
