NextImg:James O'Keefe Out at Project Veritas

Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe is exiting the organization, he confirmed on Feb. 20.

O’Keefe said in a statement that he was leaving over a conflict in vision between himself and company executives.

O’Keefe said he views the organization, which conducts undercover journalism, as building a product through donations.

Executives were upset by his fundraising strategy, according to O’Keefe.

O’Keefe said he confronted one executive at a meeting on Feb. 2 and said that if the person would not follow his lead, he would have to exit the group. O’Keefe then fired the man.

Later that same day, a different officer informed O’Keefe he was going to the Project Veritas board to restructure the company. O’Keefe said he received an agenda for the board meeting as he was set to depart on a flight, and that the meeting was scheduled for the moment he was due to land.

“It became clear to me in that moment [that] I would be removed from my position at Project Veritas,” O’Keefe said.

Project Veritas did not pick up the phone or respond to requests for comment.

O’Keefe, who started Project Veritas in 2010, said he’s not finished.

He said that “the mission continues” but will “perhaps take on a new name.”

“I’ll make sure you know how to find me,” he told Project Veritas employees. “I hope to see some of you soon.”

R.C. Maxwell, a Project Veritas employee and an O’Keefe ally, wrote on Twitter that O’Keefe “was removed from his position as CEO by the Project Veritas board.”

“They are in charge now,” Maxwell said.

The board, speaking through director Daniel Strack, said in a statement on Feb. 15 that O’Keefe “has not been removed.”

The board has not yet issued a new statement.

This is a developing story that will be updated.
