BREAKING: James O’Keefe no longer with Project Veritas
Ashley Sadler with LifeSiteNews reports:
James O’Keefe is no longer with undercover conservative journalistic operation Project Veritas. The nonprofit released a statement late Monday contradicting numerous reports suggesting O’Keefe had been fired, and arguing that his tensions within the organization stemmed from his alleged “financial malfeasance.”
The news comes after O’Keefe was reportedly placed on administrative leave by the Project Veritas board, leading to rampant speculation regarding his future with the nonprofit he founded and led.
One America News Network (OANN) reporter Neil McCabe said in a Monday morning tweet that O’Keefe, McCabe’s “friend and former boss at [Project Veritas], just read his resignation letter to his former team and board members at their Mamaroneck, N.Y. headquarters.”
“James will make his own way—as he always has before,” McCabe said.
