False Reports of Veterans Displaced by Migrants Exposed as Hoax.

TL;DR Summary
The New York Attorney General's Office is investigating a nonprofit organization's false claims that homeless veterans were displaced from a hotel to make way for migrants. The hotel showed proof that it was not housing homeless veterans and that no one was displaced when the migrants arrived. The situation also ensnared a local Assemblymember who railed against the alleged displacement of veterans. The Orange County District Attorney’s Office warned against any rush to judgment on any potential illegalities.
