James O'Keefe Resigns From Project Veritas
[DAILYWIRE] Project Veritas founder James O’Keefe announced his exit from his investigative group on Monday while hinting at a new journalism venture in the future.
O’Keefe, who founded the nonprofit famous for its sting operations in 2011, spoke to his former team and the Project Veritas Board of Directors in Mamaroneck, New York, according to OANN.
"I was stripped of all decision-making last week," O’Keefe said in a video posted to Vimeo on Monday.
"Currently, I have no job at Project Veritas," he added. "I have no position here based upon what the board has done — so I’m announcing to you all that today, on President’s Day, I’m packing up my personal belongings here."
R.C. Maxwell, a front man for Project Veritas, tweeted that O’Keefe "was removed from his position as CEO by the Project Veritas board."
During his remarks, O’Keefe said he was stripped of his authority as CEO for at least 180 days and removed from the board of directors, citing board meeting notes. O’Keefe also claimed he had issued an ultimatum to the board to resign, which was not heeded.
The Daily Wire reached out to Project Veritas for comment.
In addition, O’Keefe hinted at his future after Project Veritas. "Our mission continues on. I’m not done. The mission will perhaps take on a new name," he said.
