A whistleblower, in hiding abroad and fearing for her life, has delivered explosive evidence to Project Veritas exposing an alleged visa fraud scheme involving former U.S. Attorney General William P. Barr, media figure Armstrong Williams, and other prominent D.C. insiders.
Patrícia Lélis, a Brazilian journalist who worked for Williams, confirmed by a second anonymous government source, claims wealthy foreigners are securing U.S. visas through sham companies, with Barr’s direct knowledge and participation. Lélis alleges she’s being set up as the fall-guy in an ongoing DOJ cover-up to protect the powerful ‘deep state’ individuals involved.
Patrícia Lélis, hired in 2021 by Armstrong Williams’ media company, Howard Stirk Holdings, claims she was pulled into a visa fraud scheme to secure U.S. visas and green cards for wealthy clients, including the parents of Superordinary CEO Julian Reis, a former JP Morgan trader and hedge fund founder. Lélis alleges that Williams and his legal counsel, NY Assemblyman Clyde Vanel, instructed her to craft business plans for fake companies, like “Reis Cosmetics,” to obtain E2 Investor Visas, which allow foreign nationals to work in the U.S. by investing in a business.
Project Veritas examined texts revealing Armstrong Williams directing Patrícia Lélis to receive $700,000 into her personal account for creating a business plan for Peter and Vivienne Reis’ E-2 visa application. When Lélis raised concerns about the absence of a contract and being falsely presented as a lawyer rather than a journalist, Williams responded with threats.
