Project Veritas is known for its bombshell exposes, but a pair of startling disclosures saw the undercover journalism outfit making instead of breaking the news.
Founder James O’Keefe, who was forced out by the board in February, is under investigation by the Westchester County district attorney in New York for undisclosed reasons, a probe that comes after Project Veritas accused him of spending donor funds on personal luxuries.
The report, which first appeared Friday in The Nation, coincided with Project Veritas laying off staffers in response to flagging fundraising spurred by the firing of the charismatic O’Keefe, who had become synonymous with the organization that he founded in 2010.
