Project Veritas Board of Directors REMOVES James O’Keefe

n one of the most insane and tyrannical moves we’ve seen, the Board of Directors at Project Veritas have removed James O’Keefe from the head of the company he founded, and have placed him on administrative leave.

James O’Keefe is the founder and chairman of Project Veritas, but it looks as though a power play is at stake as we speak. He is now on a paid leave from the conservative nonprofit media organization and its board is considering whether to remove him from his leadership position, according to current and former employees of the group.

An internal message sent to Project Veritas employees by the organization’s executive director, Daniel Strack, said that O’Keefe would be taking “a few weeks of well-deserved PTO.” An image of the message was shared by a source familiar with the organization’s internal operations, and its authenticity was confirmed by a current employee. When reached for comment on his personal cell phone, O’Keefe said nothing in response and did not respond to follow-up calls and text messages. Through a Project Veritas spokesman, Strack later released a statement on behalf of the organization.

“Like all newsrooms at this stage, the Project Veritas Board of Directors and Management are constantly evaluating what the best path forward is for the organization,” the statement read in part. It did not directly address questions about O’Keefe’s employment status. “There are 65+ employees at Project Veritas dedicated to continuing the mission to expose corruption, dishonesty, waste, fraud, and other misconduct in both public and private institutions,” the statement read. “To our supporters: We hear you, we care about you, and we will never give up.”
