NY Mag reported:
Project Veritas founder and president James O’Keefe has taken a paid leave of absence from the conservative nonprofit media organization as its board considers whether to remove him from his leadership position, according to current and former employees of the organization.
An internal message sent to Project Veritas employees by the organization’s executive director, Daniel Strack, said O’Keefe will take “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 has been 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 spokesperson, Strack later released a statement on behalf of the organization. “Like all newsrooms at this point, the Project Veritas Board of Directors and management are constantly evaluating what is the best path forward for the organization,” the statement read in part. It did not directly address questions about O’Keefe’s employment status. “The 65+ employees at Project Veritas are dedicated to furthering the mission of exposing corruption, dishonesty, waste, fraud and other wrongdoing in public and private institutions,” the statement said. “To our supporters: we hear you, we care about you and we will never give up.”
O’Keefe is the firm’s guiding ideological force and screen face, but his status as its day-to-day manager is uncertain amid reports of internal turmoil, lawsuits from former employees, leaks about its inner workings and a federal investigation into it. The behavior of buying stolen dairy from the president’s daughter, Ashley Biden. Strack’s internal message to employees cited what he called a “distracting time” and said a board meeting had been held to discuss the “health of the organization” and that “we have not yet come up with final solutions.” Some immediate decisions.” The message said two top Project Veritas executives, including the nonprofit’s chief financial officer, had been “reinstated.” The pair had recently been fired by O’Keefe, multiple sources said.
A meeting of the Project Veritas board is scheduled for Friday to discuss O’Keefe’s potential removal, according to a source familiar with the matter.
